I personally hate ads. Not only do malicious ads exist that can fuck up a Windows Machine, they slow down website performance overall. They're like digital cancer. 98% of ads don't appeal to me. Unless its a new movie that's about to be in theaters or a new game coming out, I don't care. The ads here are never a new game or new movie. Its always local shit, telling me to donate to charity when I'm flat out broke, or to buy a new car.

Not only is this shit that doesn't appeal to me, it does slow down website function a bit. I tried going ad-block plus free for one day and I immediately realized how useful that extension really is. I clicked on dropdown menus on a user to view info and there was a 2 second lag. With ad-block plus, it was instant with no problems.

This isn't just the website. Even YouTube runs better without ads. I am aware that content creators lose money on videos I watch because I don't watch or have the ads in my view, but if they usually have a donate button I donate a small amount when I have money or only for one time I temporary turn it off if its a content creator I actually like.

As for this website, ads are just cancer. I'm well aware it keeps the site up but at the cost of performance, its not worth seeing them.

Discuss.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I don't have Adblock because it's shitty.

Spoiler
I have uBlock instead... but not running here.

Agreed. Cheat needs to find an alternative to ads imo.

I disable it on sites I use frequently, especially YouTube. In general, use of ad-blocking programs is tantamount to theft.

Personally I think having ads fuck up your browser let alone your computer if its bad enough is a bigger crime.

What's the difference? Its an ad-block program that blocks ads and malware right? What does that one do that Ad-Block Plus doesn't?

That's like arguing it's a crime to have to drive into the city for groceries. Websites offer a service via their content and often pay the bills through ads; if you find their ads annoying, you have every right to not use their site.

That still doesn't change the fact that ads are cancer.

Better UI, better at blocking ads, doesn't sell out to the ad companies.
