Unfortunately I can't turn off those big square ones on mobile, because they're part of the most basic ad set google offers.

That being said, I think if you X them out google will show them less.

it seems to work

... uh oh.

 

1. banner ads.

2. more intrusive banner ads.

3. members using adblock.

4. loss of revenue

5. testing a subscription on us

6. forcing a subscription on us

7. more members leaving

8. site closes from not being able to continue paying the webhost.

 

I know how this goes down. It's always the same story.

It's always the pessimistic route with you...

we aren't totally broke, we're just testing it out to see (1) whether it works and isn't totally invasive, and (2) whether it mitigates our reliance on donations

you are also totally free to use an adblock widget

I'm on a PC.  This is all I get on the site when I turn off my ad-blocker for now.  So I'll leave this place whitelisted until things start getting intrusive.

EDIT:  Eww. I can still deal with this, though.

EDIT EDIT: And there's the mid-thread and bottom page ads.
