jacdaw Apr 2014 10:51am, 11 Apr 2014 705 posts	0 jacdaw Adblock removes the problem, at least on Chrome / Firefox. If it didn't, I would stop using the site completely. This seems like the straw that broke...
Wriggling Snake Apr 2014 11:19am, 11 Apr 2014 6,676 posts	0 Wriggling Snake -1 for subscripion for me, sorry. I like pissing abouton here and other places, but I wouldn't fecking pay for it.
Wriggling Snake Apr 2014 11:41am, 11 Apr 2014 6,677 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I just did the blue triangle thingy and opted out of everything, most of it failed. Rather obviously, as if you had an opt-out that deleted all advertising, all advertising would cease to exist on the web, therefore the web would collapse into a Tim Berners-Lee brain sized black hole. Live with it.
BaronessBL Apr 2014 11:55am, 11 Apr 2014 3,722 posts	0 BaronessBL I wouldn't pay a subscription either. It would be exactly the same for me as joining a gym - pay all that money a month and never go. Or come on here play all the games for free and get out and run to clear bugs, and all the other reasons for running the site gives me.
Jambomo Apr 2014 11:58am, 11 Apr 2014 4,260 posts	0 Jambomo I definately would pay for a subscription. I like the fun things that I do in my life to remain fun happy things and adverts ruin that. It's against my human rights to be bombarded by bloody adverts all the time
FreshStart Apr 2014 12:01pm, 11 Apr 2014 1,912 posts	0 FreshStart I keep getting adverts for Sky. Given the shite broadband service they provide it's slightly irritating. I would be more than happy to pay a subscription.
Frobester Apr 2014 12:07pm, 11 Apr 2014 25,558 posts	0 Frobester There's an irrelevant, pointless, probably non-binding poll. I'm just curious, like.
Wriggling Snake Apr 2014 12:11pm, 11 Apr 2014 6,678 posts	0 Wriggling Snake http://www.fetcheveryone.com/polls-view.php?id=4422 if the vote is yes, we can have apoll on cost, and THEN we we see the econmoics and then we'll know why there'll have to be ads, or fetch gets paid peanuts and is chained to his laptop 24/7
Frobester Apr 2014 12:14pm, 11 Apr 2014 25,559 posts	0 Frobester And just because we're so joined up here, here's my poll... http://www.fetcheveryone.com/polls-view.php?id=4421

About This Thread

Maintained by Son of a Pronator Man

Fetch says: "I don't choose the ads, I just supply the holes, and the people who pay my salary and supply a server choose what they want to put in them. The change was a surprise to me too, and I've asked for some clarification on the thinking.

If you get any particularly dodgy ones, e.g. Russian mail order brides, or ones that break the user experience, it would be helpful for me to see some screenshots (ian AT fetcheveryone.com), and I'll feed those back."

And: "I've just clicked the little blue triangle in the top right corner of the ad, and looked at the opt-out options. On the page it took me to (after it took a while to think about it), there was a button called something like 'Choose All Companies' - I clicked that, and thus far, it seems to have opted me out of all the ads."
