How do you stop it from popping up every time I click on threads?
Agreed 1000%This website has been horse shit to use on mobile since this started popping up. Its fucking annoying and is just going to drive people away
Using Firefox desktop with ublock, unfortunately now it has been affected. How annoyingget an adblock extension like ublock or ghostery, it should block that pop up.
Not surprising given that setup. If they can detect that you're running an ad blocker then you'll get that nag screen. Your options would be to either use an ad blocking method that they can't currently detect, and there are some that I've verified in testing, or just suppress the nag screen itself. A short while back I mentioned how I was doing it but my post was quietly deleted. Apparently it rubbed one of the staff members wrong. If that information wasn't censored then I could say more. Mum is the word on the particular details. Good luck, soldier!Using Firefox desktop with ublock, unfortunately now it has been affected. How annoying
I mentioned this last month. See below.Every time I click a link on the forums this pops up because I have a built-in DNS that blocks all ads on my phone has nothing to do with my web browser
I get that ads help bring in Revenue but realistically the only people that are going to click on those is very lowView attachment 1002055
If I say continue without browsing it should let me do that on mobile
BTW in many cases you don't necessarily have to click/tap on their ads for them to earn revenue. Ad campaign business models aren't always Pay-Per-Click (PPC) they can also be Pay-Per-Impression (PPM) for example. In other words, they're still able to make money as long as their advertisements are displayed to visitors.Lastly, even if your users chose to comply and disable their ad blocking, or whitelist your site, not every end-user is using a browser extension to block ads. After all there are various other methods available. Some of them aren't nearly as straightforward or convenient to reconfigure (ieg., network-based DNS filtering would require a change to your users' DNS settings, some VPNs and anti-virus software have it built-in, and most business institutions and select ISPs block ads by default per corporate policy on their networks). The reality is that not everybody is a power user or technologist. Plenty are either tech illiterate or outright technophobes. As someone that's worked inside Big Tech, and had frequent correspondence with the US intelligence community, I would strongly recommend that you reconsider your policy.
Reports about bad ads should include the following:
1. Location/Country
2. Device
3. Browser
4. Company/Product of ad
5. A screenshot if possible
6. Brief description of how the ad is a problem
7. Page/Pages affected8. Date and time of occurrence
Refer to the instructions for your device on how to take screenshots
