Ads On Ab

[fbg40]

No question just to say that AB, in my opinion, is horrible to use with all the Ads floating about. I for one would certainly be willing to pay an annual subscription to keep these most annoying "things" away.I know this has been posted before but felt I just had to say something.

i know what you mean, but i have now found a way to live with it, they are not so intrusive as they were at the beginning. someone said make your screen resolution bigger, not sure if that would work.......

i have found if you reject all cookies the ads are fewer

[emmie]

that does seem to happen ^

[calmck]

Agree with bednobs

I hate them too especially the flashing ones as they are very sore on my eyes. I'm constantly zapping them and don't even read what they say so it's all a bit pointless. They are so repetitive. I don't come on the site as often now because of them. Must try some of those tips mentioned

flashing ads? i don't get flashing ads?

[barry1010]

Never seen a flashing ad on AB. I don't find the ads obtrusive, I have no idea what any of the ads are advertising.

I am in mind to have a rest from AB and give the site owners the opportunity to get things so that they operate sensibly. There are a number of matters that need attention.

The 'Cookies Setting Button' is tantamount to being a Con and the 'Anti Adblocker' which has been put on site by AB is a troublesome item. I keep getting the following 'Pop-up' when I am Not using an Adblocker......."It looks like you're using an adblocker.

no problems here - some ads but not particularly obtrusive.

[davebro]

PS. I wouldn't pay!

[emmie]

i have managed to limit them it seems, though the occasional flashing images are a nusiance

[davebro]

another forum I use has no ads & a voluntary donation that seems to bring in enough revenue to keep it going but probably not as much as the adverts do.

[HansUrbancka]

Surely Answerbank could function on Voluntary Contributions. Wikipedia does and is devoid of any Adverts.

I have to disable my ad blocker for this site every time I sign in. I thought it would keep it permanent. Twould seem not.

[pastafreak]

I get limited ads...small ones, a few are animated. They don't bother me.
Should others like me have to pay?
A voluntary subscription sounds better to me.

[davebro]

I suppose the question is "How much revenue do the ads bring in?".

A friend has a website with ads & makes quite a good income from it. Far more than it costs to run.
