Thanks for putting scam ads on the website

[Ondrashek06]

So I was on the homepage, and this ad appeared:

You know, the stack of money & a surprised man already screams SCAM ALERT!!!!!!!!!

How about you stop letting these ads be displayed on the website?

Pretty sure Temp uses a company for their ads, so they don't just hand pick them. The majority of mine have been things like IKEA and other targeted stuff but if something bad appears, just report it. There's usually a button to do it on the ad itself.

Edit: Seems there's already a discussion thread for this:

There are ad blockers for mobile. I use AdGuard.
However, I would instead suggest supporting the site and not using ad blockers. Report the ad and move on.

The same ad literally appeared below your post again. No, I cannot multiply my income by 36.

Also, I do not have 5000 XP to pay for a month of ad-free, sorry.

The admins don't control what ads are actually shown on the site. All the ads you're seeing are personalized based on data that's been collected from you across the web

What kind of data makes them think that I'm interested in viewing obvious scams?

That's not how that works lol, whatever decides to show you the ad doesn't look at the ad itself, it looks at metadata related to it. You can't tell if it's a scam just from that.

Ads are based on your browsing history, we have little influence on what you see.

Here's one for you, consider becoming a GBAtemp patreon!
You'll support the site via a monthly donation and unlock features like ad-free browsing and participation in patreon raffles!

You can also opt to contribute via paypal.
Not 100% sure if other payment methods are available, I simply picked paypal out of convenience .

Why would I spend money just to not see scam ads?

 

[DinohScene]

Cause contributions like this keep the website running.
Unfortunately we have to rely on ads for the non-patreons.

Cool. Reported it 5 times already and the exact same ad keeps reappearing regardless.

Stuff isn't gonna get resolved instantly, a human needs to look at it and deal with it.

You're honestly making a huge deal out of nothing, just ignore it, it won't hurt you

I was getting scam ads also via Facebook ads and when I reported them, they stopped appearing instantly.

Good for you. This isn't Facebook, they have their own ad network seperate from the one we use. You're not entitled not seeing an ad you don't like
