How much? Who do I pay? To rid my life of these advertisements here?

[webfish]

System was supposed to grandfather anyone in at 9 years. Not working. I'll manually do it.

It's the volume increase of ads that's the issue. Newcomers shouldn't be punished with an assault of ads. A few are tolerable in the header and footer, but not when it makes it hard to concentrate and read through a thread.

I find some of these ads are interfering with the site's design. I can stand ads, I watch utube all the time...

Well im done. Love the site, but the pop-up add crap that won't go away and comes back every time I click on a post has ruined any hope of enjoying the site.

What platform do you view the site with?

You might have to resort to a pop up blocker addon to your browser. I had to do that once as there was a time the ads were really bad. Now they are there, but I can still enjoy the site. I'm using MS Edge on my Windows Computer.

I use my windows 10 computer, with chrome browser, and use ad block plus (it's free).
I get No adds on this site.
Don't know if i'm grandfathered in to get less adds as long time member here?

Could be your ad blocker, and/or that you are a supporter. If you don't get ads on other websites, then your blocker is on and working.

Yeah the ad blocker definitely blocks most all adds on most all sites. Have had it for years.

Just checked the ad block counter, it's over 143,000 adds blocked to date..
And i had to reload it a year or 2 ago so that reset the counter

You have the hearth supporter icon next to your name which means you have no ads.

I turned mine off after things got better on this site a few months ago. At one time it was so bad I couldn't use the site. I have it ready to go if needed.

The adds I get are at the footer and header and sometimes the entire screen, hit the done button and they disappear, not an issue for me. IPad mini.

I’ve always assumed that this site would be paid by the advertisers to advertise. I’m guessing I’m making a wrong assumption?

I use Windows 11 Home and the free version of adblock on chrome with no issues. I don't see any ads on this site at all.

I wish that when people complain about an issue, they would supply at least basic info.

What device they use; smartphone info, laptop or computer info
OS
Browser they're using etc.
What they've tried to resolve the issue

Adblock works on all platforms and devices

Mobile has been borderline unusable. No way to minimize these ads.

Have you tried the free ad blocker I recommended?

I haven't yet. But I've just stopped browsing mobile. Its frustrating to have to download adblockers just to make a site usable. Although with a job shift I wont have access to desktop so it may just be the end of my short time on Hearth.

I dont mind ads, the website provides a service. But a new user would be turned off pretty quick by these.

It should be noted that a lot of the change is due to Google. It no longer is the Information resource it used to be. Monetization is the name of their game. Most searches now are big commercial dumps with the highest bidder at the top of the list. And apparently advertisers don't give a damn about the content on the site.

Its fine and I dont expect @webfish to try and fix it for little old me. Just saying my piece. This is a Woodstove website after all not a huge deal.
