Okay so I had to block ALL FLASH in my browser recently. While this was a problem I just thought about something. How many people will be affected by this and the advertisment people who is going to lose money once they find out people is so desperate to block flash that causes a close out who is going to see somebodies flash asides the consumer who will upgrade willingly.

I am just wondering how many people have had to deal with this?

Aside for the Flash blocker thingy I even had to block the god auwfull Youtube. I mean forcing us to upgrade to another PC just for there flash garbage is one thing but having little add-on's that makes no diffrent at all but come on.

Blocking flash is not a big deal imo; Google for instance does not use it and they are the biggest in web advertising.

The site owner will lose money but you can click on the other ads or subscribe or support the site in other probably better ways anyhow.

You really cannot blame Youtube for using Flash. Many sites use it and most people IMO prefer it over proprietary plugins like quicktime or wmp.

I use flash myself and I love it. It is just that with the recent upgrade in flash along with any update in the creation tool people who use the new functions will cause more problems for people who choose not to upgrade there browser. This is why when I dine with flash I have to be carefull so that lower flash will be useable otherwise it will not appear.

About Google. I really can't see how Google advertisment does well whenever it is just links. I have seen the kind of person who does clicks on these links but I never since the past clicking these links led me to virus filled webpages. Like the one that is left behind a website that has closed down. I have only heard about pushing your webpage upgfront to make it appear first.

I am just fed up with all this upgrade which changes the entire program all together. It is like the WMV8 to WMV9 nonsense where Mafiasoft stop supporting WMV8 in favor of the corperate model.

About choosing to click on flash. I have done in the pass but when this newer upgrade rolled along I was barely able to scroll and even clikced on the Flash by accident LIKE more then ten times in a second.

It is not bothering me on a creative level just on a user level who has to either choose to install something or wipe it from my mind completly.
