What is the deal with ads?

So we have all seen ads and some of use have even an ad blocker, but how often do we even think about ads? Not like, "Oh, that is a pretty little ad." But how often do we think why ads exist? Why do most of us hate them? Is it because we find them annoying, or because we dislike what they stand for?

Ads to most people are annoying, they take up the space of a site where the creator could have used to add more content (or for game/video sites, it wastes our time). They also just have annoying color designs or makes annoying sounds, maybe they are even in such a place that would force us to think that they themselves are content that we need should click on.

Well, to be fair they do have their own place, they are a necessary evil if you will. They allow people who decide to take a chance and build a site, or do something wasting their own time and money, to try and get a little bit back. It gives some people the traffic they need to know that what they are doing is likable to some extent.

Why it is needed for a Creator:
    A creator needs ads so that they can get their stuff out there, because without that then no one would really know what they have made. Word of mouth can only go so far, and so can putting your site on a search engine, a good amount of traffic is going to come from ads, because some people will see something they like and click it.
    A creator also needs it so that they can have some way of getting money so that they can do what they love to do (create things for their audience). We all most likely have tried to do something in our lives, but found that the lack of money to support it usually was the defeat of the project whatever it was. Some people try and make sure that they save up to not only what they believe they need, but a lot more; while some go and put ads so that the fire they have for the fire does not burn out before they can get that money to do it.

Why it is needed for the Audience:
   The Audience needs them so that they know of what current new projects are going around. What new fun stuff is going around, so that they may go there and explore what they have. They need them so that they can be knowledgeable of what is going on else where.


So given those idea's and all, ads are a necessary evil but yet they do come in handy for some purposes.
