Testing Forum Ads Again
-
For those on Switch, is it that bad? Is that on Switch 1 (OLED, Lite, or original) or Switch 2? And which DNS are you using? (certain ones might have some built-in ad-blocking)
Popping up during conversations is a definite problem. I'm also not a huge fan of ads, so I'm always going to err on the side of making them be optional. The @Hide-BDNS-Ads group works well because you still have to seek it out, but also, signed-out users eg. people arriving via Google search can't join them.
If the ads are weird, how weird are we talking? Below is an example of the kinds of ads I'm seeing. Although it's a LOT of ad real estate, I also kind of feel like that's just how the Internet is these days?
Google has their own internal algorithms where they decide where to put the ads, but you can mark certain areas as "off limits" zones. That first page load though is some of the more valuable real-estate (which is also why so many news sites look so terrible). It's a trade-off for user annoyance VS ad performance, really.
@VGMoose im on switch light and its not bad for me so far, my ads haven't been particularly weird either, just mobile games and it hasnt gotten in the of me posting or dming and i have not noticed more lag
there was this pop up that said 'web browsers' and blocked a bit of the typing box in my dms that i cant get rid of but i closed the browser and now its gone
(edit) nvm i absolutely take it back, idk if its bc of the ads but the site has been hella laggy for me lately in ways it wasnt before and its very annoying

@VGMoose Switch 2 isn't bad at all, it doesn't interupt much at all, plus the ability to just hide it with the arrow.
