@SBAllen

It shouldn't be up to us to report and honestly, I'll just start using ad blocker over wasting my time reporting ads that should be filtered by CBS.

Actually scratch that, you can't even stay on the website long enough to report anything. I had to type this in notepad.

I'm basically saying I'm not gonna pay anymore and continue using the site, so it's no loss to me.

I like supporting things I like, but if I keep getting talking Walmart and YouTube surveys again, it's on you guys.

@SBAllen

Because of these redirecting ads, your website is shit and you should do something about it pronto. These ads are the most obnoxious I've seen in years on a site that wants to claim to be reputable. I've also had to type comments in a separate app, then copy and paste them onto GFAQs because it would redirect before I was able to finish them in the page.

unusable

Fix your shit and maybe I'll go back to my old browser without ad blocking you any more

Yeah, it became pretty unusable about an hour ago. I just switched over to my rooted phone with a system level ad blocker. I don't want to install it on my other phones, so I hope this gets resolved by the morning.

How does that help? I mentioned him and that should be enough.

Sites don't get it. Lots of people don't bother with ad blockers because they like supporting their favorite sites. But when they become intrusive and you have to do the legwork, it's easier to just use an ad blocker.

Admins don't know about the ads because they don't browse this website anymore. They rely solely on user feedback and if you don't complain they do nothing because infecting your phone with malware makes them the most money.

I've been browsing on chrome mobile for the past 2 weeks. I have literally not seen a single advertisement or been redirected.
Know why?
Because I'm smart and installed ad blockers instead of whining.

Yes, adblocker is the solution to a problem that shouldn't exist.

I didn't used to use it. But gamefaqs mobile was consistently shit with its ads, for years. And nothing was ever nor will ever be done. You have to eventually just concede defeat and get the adblock

I agree. At this point it's really the only solution, but using an adblocker can be suggested without all the extra bullshit.

Just get an ad blocker, they have repeatedly claimed they have no way to filter out bad ads until someone reports an ad so its on them if users decide to bypass ads altogether.

I have noticed that once people get vocal about ads, they generally get fixed. Temporarily at least.

I remember there being a period where ads would shift the page. One person complained, mods were like "we can't do anything". More people complained and it was magically fixed within hours.

I blame CBS more than anything, but props for actually trying to fix it.

Well to be fair, the mods can't do anything so they weren't wrong. I've been watching this the past few days and I've reached the point where I'd rather field complaints internally about removing ads for some users than have the users have to deal with it. That tends to get things resolved more quickly.

I remember this. People had been complaining for months and iirc, Allen just randomly came across that topic and was like "wait, I didn't even know this was an issue. Let me fix it. Done."

It was one of the most annoying issues ever. I think that's why people get more vocal nowdays. They think Allen doesn't know or overlooked it like that time lol.

I've seen everything now.

I mean, the more people use adblockers the less ad revenue websites get, which in turn makes them desperate and put even more ads up, and it spirals out of control until they're forced to shut down or become a paid service.

That said, the type of ads are what causes people to use adblockers in the first place. I'm sure most people don't mind ads until they're literally thrown in your face as constant pop-ups.
