While I have a router level adblock and I have tons of scripts that will break "adblock blockers" I do understand you guys need money, I just wish sites would moderate their ads. 99% of the reason I even use ad blocker is because Ads are scammy or straight up malware/Trojans. They exist purely to steal and deceive. I cant even remember the last time I saw an ad on my phone when I'm not home that was not some fake virus notification or what not. While I do support this site as I do use it ALOT. I feel you should look at the cause rather than the symptoms. Most people aren't so unreasonable as to go out of their way to block something that is int bothering them, So the fact that ad blocking is on the rise like it is shows that ads are in fact bothering them one way or another. Just my 2 cents. Edited October 9, 2018 by bubbanole91

It's pathetic. People who can pay get the benefit but people who put actual content into the site don't? what a joke.

Megapolom, you mean reward the site owners for willingly using malicious ads and giving them money to stop wasting our bandwidth and attempting to infect our computers? I don't understand why it's our place to reward bad behavior, even if it is only $2.

I have to buy internet by the mile. Overages are very high. Many adds are glutenous bandwidth burners that I get stuck with the bill for. So, If I'm going to afford internet for myself, an adblocker that stops add downloads altogether is a big plus.

That is indeed a crazy thought mega, to have to pay to not have malware infested ads. There is a reason ad blocker exists to begin with it. Zgrillo has the right of it, Sorry.

We have Supporter membership, which costs $2, or Premium Membership, which costs $4.50. Either of which give you ad free for life.

Just pay the 2$ donation and be a supporter with no ads for life. You support them and they support you with no ads.

The 1MB/s speed cap is still currently active for manual downloads for paid "supporters" that use adblock software.
