Advertising

The pop up adds have made this site completely unusable on my phone. I'm leaving now permanently. Sorry to say goodbye but it's really horrible.

Wow! I just use a desktop and have NEVER seen an ad on here. That's another reason why I would never use or buy a cell phone.

 

I am sorry to see you go! I paid $28 for a year and now have no ads. It was worth it to me.

 

We'll be very sorry to lose you.

I've had to give up on a few sites due to the pop-up ad invasion. For this one, it's completely worth the $28 a year (or whatever it is) to stay entirely ad-free.

Yea my add-free donation has expired and now I'm getting slammed with adds.

 

Just a note: It's not like Peter and other site owners are working into the night trying to find more obnoxious ways to display ads. If you buy into an ad service, you get very little control over how they display ads; you can either accept what they stick onto your page, or end the relationship (and the revenue stream, such as it is).

In the race between ad services and Web users (and ad blockers and malware vendors and...), site owners are pretty much bystanders. If there's a way to exert back-pressure on the ad networks without hurting site owners, I'm not sure what it is.
