Re: animatedgif @ banners
No one likes TV commercials, but channels still have them. Why? Because they pay the bills. Clients want them. Same idea behind banner ads. Plain and simple. Advertising. And the online advertising industry is a massive $30 billion dollar a year industry ($12 Billion probably just with the different types of banner ads -- video, rich media, standard, not including the rest of online advertising) and will probably double in a few years. Do you think building websites is that big? Not even close. Obviously, most users of the web don't want ads in their content but most of that content isn't going to exist unless something is getting paid to create it. And a lot of that generated revenue is coming from online advertising. Anything that increases sales for that matter.
@ no one clicks on them:
Getting folks to click on ads would be great but that's not entirely the purpose of them. They also serve to deliver a message or reinforce a brand, or experience.Yeah, there's a ton of shitty ads out there. But there's also quite a bit of good ones. Go to Bannerblog. Lots of great ones there.
Not sure what kinds of ads you've created but I personally have a lot of fun creating ads. They're fun simple quick projects.
To continue on with how this relates to Flash...if it's not going to be done with Flash, it'll be done with a different technology. Do you think anything will be different than how it is today.
