Is there such thing as non intrusive ads?
Unlike intrusive ads, non-intrusive ads don’t overtly disrupt a user’s online experience. They are passive, allowing the consumer to come to them rather than forcing themselves upon consumers. So, there’s no need to block them since they can easily be ignored.
