Is anyone else sick and tired of that stupid ass drop down advertisement banner on the main page? Every time I go to click on my notifications and stuff I end up clicking on an ad because it drops down the moment I try to click on something.

I usually hit gamefaqs on my phone and thw drop down is definitely irritating. I've changed the settings (at least from what I've garneres from othera here) on gamefaqs to turn it off and my broswer blocks pop up ads. That damned thing still kicks in. Usually, it seems to almost wait and lull me into a false sense of security before popping up as I tap on something.

I miss the days when you could bring a game home and play, no updates to wait for. Now, get off my lawn.

Not an option. For one thing, it also blocks ad revenue from YouTubers and I'm not doing that.

Can't you select which sites you want to display ads on even with adblock? Also I will never ever visit this site without adblock again, they are too obnoxious here

I never really have an issue with ads. Idk why. Most of the time, they are in the side where nothing is. Or all the way at the bottom. I could care less about them...

I haven't seen an ad on this site for more than 10 years, because NoScript blocks pretty much everything.

I might feel slightly guilty about that if not for the fact that GameFAQs was hosting malware ads before that anyway, so fuck 'em.

you know you can set it not to run on specific sites if you really care about giving youtubers a couple cents for every 50 hours of content you watch

Adblock.

Gamefaqs has the absolute worst ads anywhere on the internet and I downloaded Adblock a few years ago because of it. I will never visit this site without an ad blocking software again.

Every cent helps.

Plus, what if there are 500 people with ad block? That "couple of cents" adds up. I'm not an asshole. They deserve to get paid for their work.

Yelling at a screen is really hard work.

If that is all you see from it, then no wonder you don't get it. Do you think the videos edit and render themselves?

If you care that much about content creators, you could just give them money via Patreon or donations. Most of them accept them, and they get way more revenue from that than they do from ads, especially in the modern environment where YouTube will demonetize videos over almost anything, and where entire channels can be taken down by assholes filing vindictive invalid copyright claims.

Conversely, channels that sell merch usually make more off that than they do ads as well.

Videos render themselves using computer programs.

I wish somebody would just take those people to court over it including Google. They need to be hit hard for both filing a false claim and Google for following it.
