They are so clever you are means tested when you log on and you can't afford anything they sell. :rofl:
Thing is I do click on those in the Title bar and I have bought a number of items directly via adverts on this site. I don't much use the larger internet. Not on FB Twts etc.

I tend to avoid adblockers because they can mess with cashback sites... But these were actually unbearable so has forced my hand.

Each site can be added back which I do for news papers sites, so when it becomes normal I can switch it off for this site.

One here and there is par for the course but multiple ads on every page between posts, it’s a bit much.

I’d rather throw a few quid in the kitty but I imagine that’s not great for encouraging new members and participation in the age of Facebook groups.

It's all very annoying having to avert your eyes when images of scantily clad women come on.

Targeted ads - they’re tailored to the recipient’s tastes. If you’re all seeing fat munters, you’ve only yourselves to blame :lol:
