Kalell Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I haven't had ads on the site for quite a while but this is still a very cool thing to do for mod authors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreedomsFlame Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 As someone who released a handful of fairly low-effort mods, I feel like the bar for Mod Author is a bit low, but thanks for the ad-free browsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetag Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Not trying to sound arrogant, but indeed 1.000 unique downloads seems something quite easy to achieve - I know that 'supporter' title only costs £1.29, and also remove Ads, but I would increase it to at least 10.000 ~ 50.000...

gUISTASSI Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 : The add free matter from contributing with mods was a wise idea. I've been on curiosities and studying the history of ads on why people hate it too much. I was an user on DeviantART and I always saw ads no matter what even contributing to the site, you was forced to pay a membership to get rid of ads. Giving this feature to the mod authors encourages them to work for something. Although I always block ads because this has nothing to do with me, I need to give respect for those that respect the users as well. Ads is for free to watch if you desire, there are sites that forces you to watch it even warning you when you block ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereallgr Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Not trying to sound arrogant, but indeed 1.000 unique downloads seems something quite easy to achieve - I know that 'supporter' title only costs �1.29, and also remove Ads, but I would increase it to at least 10.000 ~ 50.000...(Just taking your statement as an example for a point made several times in this topic.) For Bethesda titles 1000 unique downloads isn't that much, but for other less prestigious titles that the Nexus hosts, 1000 is a lot. I would argue that those authors working on lesser known games deserve the same treatment as those working on better known ones.One could propose that downloads could or should be weighted/normalised/whatever across games, but seeing as that concept was proposed and shot down previously when the DP system was designed, it would probably not apply here either. I'd rather have a benefit that applies to most mod authors and that happens to catch a few "low effort" authors in the process than the other way around.

The biggest benefit to having a Premium membership is unlimited download speeds... Disabling ads for mod authors does not change the fact that Premium membership is still required in order to have uncapped download speeds... I bought a lifetime Premium membership for U.S $85.00 a few years ago in an effort to bypass the broken regular servers/CDN we were stuck with back in the day. Several years ago, the servers wouldn't work half the time & when Nexus finally ditched their old data cluster in favor of the current CDN, there were still issues with downloads via the CDN during high traffic times so I spent the U.S $85.00 for a lifetime Premium membership. No ads & uncapped download speeds are a win win for me while also giving my support to the Nexus via a one-off U.S $85.00 payment, which is the best deal in the long run when it comes to purchasing Premium membership...
