I still don’t see ads, but I think I see what’s up... I pay monthly for a certain tier of ad blocking. It’s a graduating scale that costs more for more “ad-free” page views. Apparently there has been more traffic this month than I have paid for in the past...I’ve now paid for more so you shouldn’t see it anymore. I actually saw more in the mobile version than desktop, so that may be part of this. Now for everyone but John, it’s really this simple if you don’t want adds there are really 3 options. 1 we can all up our game donation game. 2 we go subscription model 3 we get more pro audio related advertisements. I’m not talking GS like advertising where everything has a sponsor, but make it known to the powers that be at your favorite gear seller ( it should be JK) , your favorite manufacturer. John could do better if we show industry based advertisers that we don’t just talk we buy.! Remember for years the most expensive late night show didn’t win the overall ratings war. Instead it won in demographics that spend money! Often it is better to be the niche rather than the big guy. |

It’s cheap as shit for them, but none of the big boys will do anything. UA actually completely turned me down...I probably need to figure it out, I just HATE sales. |

I am always signed in
I am generally on my phone They seem to be gone now.
I don’t mind a few commercial ads and I do donate here every year as I understand we need tohelp keep this running.
I thought about not starting this thread … but man .. the BS Public service announcements just got on my nerves … so fed up with the narrative … I guess I just lost it.

"… but man .. the BS Public service announcements just got on my nerves … so fed up with the narrative … I guess I just lost it." Get your terminology right, mister. Not "public service announcements" but "Government announcements" etc. For example, most people just casually say - "public schools" instead of "government schools", or if something comes through private channels but government sponsored (and so on.) If we finally start calling things what they actually are in reality, our perspective might change a little... |
