You act like all the sites I visit are chosen by me, independently of other factors. Sort of like a free market.
Guess what, that's not true.
A lot of obnoxious sites have valuable content. Content is king, remember?
And many, many times activism falls on deaf ears. The only one losing by being radical and not visiting those sites is me, not them - they only lose 1 visitor (unless I suddenly start a sort of mass migration...).
I'm not a martyr. Go ahead and be one, I'll thank you for it. Cynical, isn't it?

You make the problem worse by assuring the authors their site is useful and/or popular (also by, for example, linking somebody to it not even knowing its true colors). If it's irritating to use without modifications, it's not useful. Ignore it. Only then such sites will go away.
