Too many ads

[Ondrashek06]

Honestly, it's getting ridiculous at this point. There's an ad between like, EVERY SINGLE POST + a closeable ad on the bottom.

I do not have enough XP to pay for no ads. Just reduce the amount. Keep ads, but do not make them THIS intrusive.

We haven't increased the amount of ads but I will take a look and see if the ad network made any changes themselves.

It does seem like there are more ads recently. The mobile version of the site is almost unusable. There's ads on top of ads.

I confirm this fact. Some pop up when you least expect it, and the page skips suddenly. Due to this fact, several times I have replied to the wrong post, or clicked "report" and risked reporting random posts, even mine.

Whenever my 2FA goes out for the month and it leaves me signed out, I noticed a metric crapton of ads on mobile, made it rough to load the home page :/

Do you cheat XP? You have 100K XP while the second place has like 20K.

Being chief editor gives you some perks. Most front page posts get liked a lot.
Also, #2 might've spent most of theirs on free patron benefits.

If i want to write a contribution then an ADD jumps to the line from here you only see half. So it's no fun to write something on the phone. I write 90% on the CPU, fortunately there are AD blockers, otherwise I wouldn't use this site. I understand that you want to make money with ADD to finance the system but I don't understand if the ADDs cover my eyes. It's time one of you got off your ass and removed ADDs in the critical area and moved them to an area where it doesn't interfere with important inputs.

cant resist:
"sounds like we need to ask someone to __vance the site."
(if you get the joke, great. if not, replace the __ with ad)

I never noticed ads, who the hell doesn't block ads these days?

 

[tomberyx]

I don't think the chiefs in GBA will look at these pesky ADDs or change them. I wouldn't throttle my source of money either;-) . Or is there someone who gives respect to its members?..

there are many out there who don't know that AD blockers exist. or how to install them. Exactly these ignorant ones are the best cash cows

Nah. I have an adblocker installed on my PC. But I also browse GBATemp on my phone.

We literally have a megathread that is stickied since 2018 where ad-related issues have been addressed. Heck, even an admin personally responded to the OP about looking into the matter.

On my phone, It took me literally 10 minutes to write a simple message on my profile, because it kept intruding (and I kept accidentally clicking on) an advertisement about an old woman with sad eyes, but new dentures...
