W.E.D 11,070 Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 @RunInRed these new pop-ups are pretty brutal. I understand the need for ads to help pay for the site, but these top & bottom drop downs seem to have just started and rather brutal for a ui/ux perspective. Not sure if you turned them on intentionally or have any control over them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sites don't allow adblock, but for sites like this they do help pay some bills to keep the lights on so don't mind that much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate taking ad revenue from Red, but I hate the data collection methods of these ad companies too much to stop blocking them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,094 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 @RunInRed I would make it a perk to donors where ads are turned off. Kind of like if you pay for Hulu or Peacock, the ads are off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
