benderbender Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Let's all complain about the complainers complaining about people having the nerve to complain. Here's a solution: how about all of the "I'd pay for it" party donate to the "cheapskate" party's access? They want it to be paid for and they want it free.

Governor Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 What ads are people talking about? I don’t see any on my end. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 While I will give up on sites inundated with aggressive ads, if ads are reasonable, I will actually click on them occasionally even though I have no interest just to keep the revenue wheels turning on a site whose content I truly appreciate ... a small price to pay IMO 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if I'm positive about this forum my post won't get taken down? Either way, super great call leaders! Or, maybe, don't come to the website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many here complain about paying for The Athletic or BN...seriously? You won’t pay for people’s work? Ask a plumber or HVAC person to your house and then stiff them. How does that work out? This entire argument is just silly. Asking for cash to participate in a board as active and good as this is only fair. Not to mention keeping the trolls at bay. Sign me up. I'd rather just see ads. This is a fan site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern_Bills Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Maybe I'm a rare bird here but I never get ads that are invasive. I never have to clear anything, I'm a mobile android user almost exclusively on this site though. People have to make their money somehow, if we all worked for free work wouldn't last long lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of times I've read and not logged in. "Frustration" was zero. Just one add as I recall. But, oddly, ad was always for tasteful lingerie/swimwear. Not Vicky's Secret mind you, but more along the lines of "why has Martha Stewart been using my phone?" Nota bene: yes, I'm a dude; no I don't look at porn; no I don't buy lingerie. But I do read a lot of complex foreign policy articles (I swear) on my phone. The ad service algorithm remains a deep mystery.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But problem fixed. My advertisements were Genesys cloud which we use at work. When dvr was newer my friends and I during games would pause at the start of a commercial set then fast forward to the action 2 minutes after. Somebody chuckled every time too so there was more than spite fueling this Edited April 10, 2021 by danh920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSE Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Is there anything about an extended warranty on my car? They call me every day and I guess this is my last chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just in Atlanta Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 FWIW, I am logged in and see several display / retargeting ads, including ones I have to click on to get to this forum. Local car dealers, etc. Pretty sure I have an ad blocker. Clearly it’s not working well. I’d rather not see ads but it’s a free forum, and a good one at that, so it’s worth it. I’d personally pay a subscription if there were a mobile app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
