Were the ads on era always so bad?

[Chairmanchuck (另一个我)]

I am quite stunned that somehow the ads on Era got worse.
Are we Geocities now?

Some autoplay videos. Then I saw a PayPal Ad that has a blinking "Buy Now" the whole time.

Why don't you let me fix you some of this Mococoa drink? All natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners.

 

[Blitzpwnage]

I have this issue too, almost makes me want to leave the site...

 

[StraySheep]

Desperate to get rid of that Daniel Craig Collection featuring 4 films huh?

 

[zuf]

That's wild. Fortunately it's not quite as bad when you sign in.

Those screenshots are all logged out. What does it look like logged in?

 

[Supercrap]

Lol. Does this only happen on desktop in large windows? I've never gotten takeover ads

 

[Stencil]

I've never seen this? Even with adblocker off.

Good point.
Is it the new ownership's doing?

 

[DarkStream]

Have you heard of ad block?

Same. Nothing bad like the OP.

Log into the site. That heinous mess is only meant for lurkers (sorry lurkers). Once you're logged in, it's substantially cleaned up.

That's what I figured. I pay for no ads though, it's worth it to me.

Yeah, I mean, lurkers get the short straw, that's not unusual. Get a membership and log in!

That's only the main page though? Regular threads have any ads tucked above and below the threads as it's always been. (Also check your notifications, wowza)

 

[Chairmanchuck (另一个我)]

Okay. Thank you.

That's your punishment for having so many unread notifications.

Why not use an ad blocker?

 

[Rag]

I've been getting a lot of right wing ads lately. Lots of coins with Trump's face, and Don't Tread On Me shit, as well as NRA ads. No idea what I'm looking at that is getting me those sorts of ads.

 

[Lightning Count]

The old place was far worse, used to get attack ads regularly that would try to take you to sketchy sites.

 

[Nordic4tKnight]

I keep getting ads for Trump coins

Are you posting hot takes on resetera.com or are you just popular?

 

[killerrin]

Why are ads always so bad in general? Even on other sites. I buy a fucking electric flyswatter on Amazon and for weeks I get nothing but electric flyswatters. Like FFS Amazon, I dont have that many flies to deal with.

And dont even get me started on YouTube recommendations. If I'm not specifically going in and curating my watch history by deleting shit I dont want the algorithm to account for, it gives me just absolute shit. Watch one SpaceX video and suddenly the Algorithm thinks I worship Elon Musk and want all those crappy monotone voiceover and clickbait videos in my feed. Fuck that noise.

Yeah, I'm getting a lot of this as well, and I'm definitely not visiting places where I'd come across Let's Go Brandon nonsense.
