There is an entire discipline around digital marketing. Tax should solicit goons for ideas and read up on techniques. But I agree the forums are hard to find.

I don't need, but will take, dollar amounts. Percentages work if you don't want to disclose this to the IRS.

you guys the bad ads came from the top of the site. those were ads that sometimes infected people's computers with malware, or had auto redirects if you were on mobile things, or pop ups or pop unders or crashed your browser. the ads on the bottom are just animated gifs or jpegs that link to threads or websites.

i truly, sincerely hope this helps.

too much poo poo on my screen in any case. buy no ad

Here's an example url, I think. drat thing kept trying to open poo poo up on my phone, this is the url I managed to catch: http://tracking.crobo.com/aff_r?off...482776798820615

Is there somewhere else I should post that? I swear I remember a thread about it at some point but it's hard to dig up threads when the App Store keeps popping up.

Did you click on the link? Ad views should be more than enough income.

I didn't click diddly. Unless you're saying something about the clickable url in my post? I was just trying to give whoever the info they might need to nuke an ad provider, and it seems SA code won't not make it a clickable link. v:shobon:v

But yeah, it opens up the app store when I load a page, no clicking required, and that was a url I managed to catch during the whole super-annoying redirect process.

I see. Sorry!

Do you guys use the mobile app? I've run into 0 problems on it. Other than the fact that you can't make an original thread, it fulfills most other functions with ease. I would do this rather than experience clickbait level headaches on the mobile browser interface.

This is hilarious and sad.

It was a leadership decision (from what I understand) to leave that feature out to avoid the issues of "low content" threads and other trends which might increase by having the ability to create a new thread from your phone (and, if you really need to create a new thread, I believe there is no such restriction in a mobile browser.)

ah I see. I actually have no problem with the mobile browser version. maybe I'm too easy to please.

Sometimes I wonder if charging a sustainable reg fee, versus spending weekends and nights chasing bad ads is worth the .05/page load is worth it.

I just got one which took me to a webpage that started screaming "critical alert from microsoft" and popped up popups until I hard-killed my browser. Happened in the D&D USPOL thread.

Sounds like it was for the best 😄

Does lowtax make more money from ads displaying no bs everyone buying no ads?

I kinda doubt that lowtax would care...? There's been complete silence from all the other admins on all this stuff but Lowtax seems pretty solidly in favor of that kind of stuff by this point.

e: This is also based on the fact that I'm pretty sure he refused to remove it last time there was a kiwifarms ad that linked directly to the site.
