Ads again

[Millbrook]

Please get rid of the banner adds at the bottom of the page which appear over the posts. I can live with the rest but not having to delete the bottom add on every page.

You know it's behavioral advertising right?

You know it isn't, right?

It is - It's specifically targeted ads. That's how they make more money.

I booked a hotel the other day on booking.com, and I'm seeing ads for hotels.com.

Image from the original post. The icon I've circled is for "AdChoices" - which is from Google Ads. If you click on it and click "Why this ad?"...

"Your similarity to groups of people the advertiser is trying to reach, according to your activity on this device"

Ads are now too intrusive. Banner across the bottom of the screen for every thread accessed on the laptop and a requirement to refresh on the iphone to remove the full page ad. Some are clearly targeted at me, but at least half are advertising dates with women, which my usage does not (honestly) justify.
Thanks, it has made me take a much needed break from the site.

I get the updates from the Teesside live website but when I open it from the email it’s like I’m on a pc from the 1990s, the webpage jumps up and down as it constantly updates with ads, so I just binned it.

Porn sites are the trigger point for the date ones

Logged in briefly to say that I don’t use those either. I thought I made that clear in my previous post.

Thanks

OK no probs
When will you start it ?

Had a couple of ads today where it just takes me to another website altogether.

I think the subscription idea makes sense. Intrusive ads take away from the fmttm experience.

Thanks Viz

There's videos on them now. Would be good if we could subscribe to avoid these because they are becoming too overbearing.

If you browse for a bit and come back you get the large screen ad again.

I think a subscription option would prevent the site from growing unless it was ‘ unlocked’ once a set target was reached .

 

[locomansimon]

if it funds the site I'm quite happy

 

[Wiseman_Vaughn]

Could the subscription simply remove the ads?
The site would still be available without a subscription - just with ads.
