But how often are you on the homepage?
I usually just click on Off Topic from my history and skip it entirely.
I don't use it and I don't recommend it because I work as a content creator on Youtube and Adblock stops the revenue of my work in other words if one viewer has Adblock I generate 0$
This thread is like watching someone casually stroll into a minefield.
The best place AdBlock comes in handy is YouTube, hate their stupid ads. Praise the non existent Lord for AdBlock, if only for YouTube.

Edit: sorry guy above me lol, if it helps I probably have never seen one of your vids anyways.
Half of the time the Gaf ads appeals. I don't have a problem with them
gaf gold subscriptions?
I've been wondering what that gif means for a while now. "played yourself"? As in, playing the role of you in an act? Tricking yourself? Something else?
One of the big issues with something ike GAF Gold is what it does to moderation; particularly the subjective moderation that doesn't explicity violate a rule.
Gosh, if only NeoGAF could manage to have objective moderation.
lI think NeoGAF is well moderated; I'm just saying you start charging people and them getting banned from a service they pay for becomes a bigger deal.
Yeah, that could completely change bans on the site. Can you actually ban someone paying for a monthly service? I'd assume ToS would need to be updated to account for that, with verbage similar to that of an MMO with a monthly sub and you couldn't perm someone if they kept their sub going. I'd totally pay for access to the site, but it being maintained on an ad based system seems to be better for the community.
And the other half of the time?
The only ad on GAF that sticks out in my memory is Gay Chubby Dating.
Free Gay Chubby Dating!
You know YouTube has a service for that now right?
Aren't' ads based off your search history?
Though, I'm not sure how much truth there is to that as I have Battleborn and T-Mobile ads all the time on the splash-page and I've never looked at or used/played any of those things.
Mobile ads are pretty terrible on GAF though, I get constant redirects to the app store without having clicked on any portion of the ad.
Weird cause I only use gaf on this phone and got 50% of the page ads for tacos. ..Can confirm they're based off search history. I was searching for a new monitor, the next 3 days the adds were all for that brand of monitor lol.
Right now I've got a giant htc Vive add at the bottom of my phone since I have their store page open in another tab.

I want a taco now ; (
What's been annoying me recently is on mobile, GAF now has these really big ads down the bottom of the page. What's up with those?
Shouldn't be. It's a company phone and besides GAF I've maybe opened CNN a time or two before instantly closing it.Perhaps logged into a google account or something?
Als I do too man
I wish there was a better way to monetize internet content than ads. Ads are just the worst. And it's a horrible cycle:
Ads are annoying -> People use Adblock -> Ads get more annoying because fewer people are seeing them now so they need to resort to more extreme measures to get people to click on them -> More people use Adblock -> Ads get REALLY annoying -> Even MORE people use Adblock
And so on and so on.
I wouldn't mind ads if it weren't for things like:
- Ads with sound that automatically start playing when the page loads
- Ads that slow my browser down or even crash it
- Ads that deliver malware
- Ads that are unnecessarily flashy and distracting
- Ads on Youtube that are like 3 minutes long and unskippable
But these things do exist, so I feel like Adblock is pretty much necessary to browse the internet.
I whitelist GAF, but not a whole lot else.
Question, though: If I never click on the ads, does GAF still get paid?
I was wondering about this too.Speaking of which, have the ads on the mobile version of GAF gotten drastically bigger for anyone? They used to be thin bars at the top and bottom of each page, and now they're giant squares the size of two posts for me.
Yeah twitch ads are the worst for me.
Also, I love your avatar.
Let's be real though: you gotta have Adblock or equivalent for porn. I don't know why on porn sites it seems so acceptable for 90s level pop ups and redirects or random hijacks. For whatever reasons it's accepted and you have to walk on egg shells when visiting any link.
There Is a thread about it the mobile ads before weren't doing shit so Evil is testing out these new ads, more and more people are using adblock for neogaf so he's trying to find ways to pay the bills.
