Thats what i thought. They would slowly kill their customer base, since IPs are not something to identify users over time.
I am not against Ads in general, but Ads can't disturb my internet experience. Remember the time when multiple browser Ad popups could appear out of nowhere? =) This is how it started. Would Ads have been presented reasonable always, we maybe would not block Ads so completely nowadays.
