It's time the Obama Administration look into putting an end to online advertisers' use of the pop-up ad.
Pop up ads are as annoying as telemarketers' unsolicited calls. They are the 21st century version of the robocall, trying to reach as many people as possible, hoping someone will bite on their sales pitch, or even misclick on them.
Pop up ads do nothing for ad revenue except inflate an advertiser's or publisher's page view count, and to increase the money advertisers spend on ads, thus increasing ad revenue.
Pop-up ads are a 90s relic that should be stopped.
