AURex 1,994 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I can't look at AL.com articles unless I disable my ad-blocker. Oh No! What shall I do? Do I really give a big enough s**t about al.com to disable my ad-blocking plug-ins? Ummmmmmmmmmmmm ------------------------------- Nope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's worthy of reading, someone will copy and paste enough of it here to take care of those of us that refuse to give al.com clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I scroll through al.com everyday. I get a lot of useful information. Sometimes they publish something I don’t like or agree with. That’s when I put my big boy panties on and deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make their money off the number of clicks and I choose to not give them clicks. If it's something important to Auburn it winds up here anyway.

steeleagle 2,945 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 You just have to pick and choose what you need out of AL.com. Although I still have problems w Blum's articles as he always points out the negative, even in a good positive article. And with the AD blocker message, just refresh your screen 3 times, and on 3rd refresh the AD Blocker Message will then give you the option to continue without allowing ads.

aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The last few years Saturday Down South has bypassed Al.com IMO in the most consistently hateful, unfair and outright misleading blather about Auburn. Every. Single. Story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
