If I can't immediately and easily see a way to put those down/away, that's it. I'll never come back. I won't click your affiliate links, on purpose. It's ...infuriating. They wanna pop up that "third" thing (or whatever it is)?
Fine. We all gotta eat, but BYGOD, then you better let me instantly and immediately put it AWAY for the rest of my damned visit. Pop it up 5x more, and NOPE (once more, really for me, but I'm remarkably intolerant), that's it for you and me.
There are about two, total, on-the-net cooking blogs that are actually unique, where I would honestly go back, even grinding my teeth about it--every other cooking blog known to The Internet is just re-spewing someone else's cooking and recipe ideas. I can find whatever you are peddling, someplace else that will be more respectful of me as a visitor.
I'm not asking for NO ads, no videos, no thirds--but have the decency to let me put them away and ENJOY your site, if it's not too much to ask. (I also really dislike that cooking-blog-network thing that has the floating hearts and stuff? AGHGHGHGHGH!)

I have a solution for that sort of mess. I use Firefox along with Adbloicker Ultimate and Ghostry. Solves the problem most of the time and if it doesn't and i have to turn them both off to work, I'll just find another site to use.
