Popular Post RutgersJetFan Posted January 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'm not sure how this still has to be explained to people in 2021 but the ad service caters to your browsing trends. Max literally has zero say on the matter. If you're sick of politics and don't want to see them on the board, stop clicking on politics all the time. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupz27 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 I would think a no politics forum would be able to keep their ads in line with their views. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @RutgersJetFan. @Lupz27 we have the option of turning off political advertising. But the thing is this, the site is free. We show less ads to registered members than we do to guests. It is legit our only way of paying the bills. The alternative is to do what every other site is doing and charge, take up donations etc. We have said no to that every time. If this ad bothers you that much, to call it out publicly like this let me know and I will find a way to make sure you don't see political ads anymore. But as Rutgers says we didn't sell a Joe Biden ad. All ads are based on your search history. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not me who is obsessed with politics, it’s the entire internet and social media and ad services. I literally only open one news outlet NEWS on my phone. @Maxman sorry but I didn’t think me checking my preferred NEWS website would make political ads show up. If you use the internet right now it’s IMPOSSIBLE to not click on a site that will probably get flagged for political ads ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people do the same thing for free. Writing articles, creating content, recording and editing videos. You know in 16 years there was only one two-week stretch when I didn't check the site once. Turned down over 100k from Scout because they were going to ruin the experience of what so many people worked so hard to build. And so many people who help out, skip personal events, give up their own time to keep this place running. Sorry to vent, but oh no a Joe Biden ad just showed up, oh my.

You have been here a long time, I don't think we have ever done you wrong. You could have asked me about this and I would have been happy to discuss it. Always enjoy talking about the site and how we operate. More than I do when I read multiple posts about getting called out about an ad we didn't sell. The bottom line is we turn off political ads, the site revenue goes down significantly. This isn't about the money we have always done what is best for the site. But I have to say I am here 100 times a day and I don't remember seeing one political ad. If others tell me it is a problem and that is the consensus we will turn them off. But this is the first I am really hearing of this. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to disagree and try to focus on the NFL as your outlet. It's going to surround you for the next few years and the more you let it bother you the worse it will be... politics aren't going anywhere and it's only going to get worse in 6 months when the media realizes how badly their ratings dip.
