>I've asked on here before but is there somewhere out there in the internet that I can see unbiased research on ads. Something! Anything at all?

Is this possible? If you are stating from the go that you do not trust the numbers so you are doing your own study, isn't that a bias already?

Not really. I mean a study that's not from a company that sells ads or is in the chain somewhere! Any studies (I use the term very broadly) that I've seen are all net positive!

I want something from, say, The German Institute of Being Really Honest, who are government-funded perhaps... a few studies from entities who don't have a dog in the fight is all I'm after.

If their conclusion is that people are happier with ads then so be it... I'm happy without them, that's for sure.
