First off, if you need to resort to name-calling then you haven't argued your case well enough.

Secondly, my work has never taken my near mobile advertising, so this is purely a personal opinion: you really think that avoiding adverts is anywhere near the top of reasons why people would use a mobile device over a PC/laptop? Have you ever known anyone cite that as a reason? Compare it to reasons such as portability, etc...

Disclaimer: Given a large amount of the small company I work for's revenue comes from selling advertising on our websites, and separate to that I spend six figures monthly on buying advertising elsewhere, I'm one of the "jerks" so perhaps my opinion is biased.



"Have you ever known anyone cite that as a reason?"

To add to this thought - It is well known that people tune out all those ads anyway so it couldn't possibly be a reason to leave the desktop, eh?
