This has really gotten out of control. It's to the point were you can't look at anything online without ads anymore. They are everywhere interrupting everything. Granted, I know it's how they make money but its become difficult to read an article or watch a video with the lead in ads, the fly in or mid stream ads, they ads that cover last 15 seconds of the video blocking it out so you can't see it.

I swear every few months it gets worse. For god's sake STOP IT!!!

Why don't you use an ad blocker? The Brave browser has one built in and you can download them for other browsers too. It can even block ads in YouTube videos from playing when watching in a browser. Another feature of adblockers is "Element" blocking, which enables you to block elements on a page that can hold ads or other unwanted "features" on particular web pages that you don't want to see. This stuff isn't new. I don't understand why people don't want to use them.

Yeah,

You need to just stay on Sigforum.

No ads is one of the many things that makes this place great!

I get a pop up that says "it looks like you are using an ad blocker. To continue, please disable your ad blocker".
Sorry, nope!

Hulu is the worst. I signed up in 2018 and it was $35. Now, it's doubled and even more commercials.

The worst is the Pick 1 of 3 for your commercial experience. About 25% of the time it locks up and I have to reboot. Probably not the memory the advertiser was hoping to create.

I used to see that but not so much anymore. If it comes up you can "White List" that website and it will turn off the adblocker while visiting that site.

Unfortunately a lot of the videos and articles posted here are linked to sites that are full of ads. Some of the articles you can't even read unless you pay to subscribe to the news agency.

Literally it is like... f

<Erectile dysfunction ad> I'd like to complain about all of the ads that are popping up in everything lately. Literally you cant <video ad for jardiance with that stupid song> watch a video or read an article without <pop up ad that covers the screen you're reading for leaf guard> having an ad cover what you're reading or interrupt what you're watching. You can't even get to the <AD for next video> end of <Ad for next article> piece without being interrupted <Ad for CNN>

It's why I foolishly pay for "no ads" everywhere I can.

Been that way forever, they're just closer to us now with digital devices...

Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery
Breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that
Can't you read the sign?
