I've been seeing a lot of annoying shitty ads lately. You know, those extremely ugly and crappy animated ones that appear at the top of the screen sometimes? Who the heck is making those? Any names?

Ads?

Those ads are from FurFling, a furry hookup site. You can disable those ads through the use of an ad blocker, that has been kindly provided to you by the user above me.

But beside from that, I don't really know who is making them.

If we all block the ads, who will support our site?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't need to see a bunch of crap I otherwise blacklist.

Dildos.

I too have been getting annoyed by those ugly ads, unfortunately I usually browse e6 on my ps4 so nothing I can do about that.

What do you think the ads tend to be about?

Ideally, the ads should be relevant and not too intrusive. Ads that annoy people end up working against the network and people block them. Sure, they pay the bills, and it would be great if you would whitelist the domain and let them show, but there is a line between supporting something you like, and putting up with undesirable ads.

Providing feedback on which ads are good and which ads push your buttons enough to block them might be helpful to shape the network.

Actually the advertisements here are the least intrusive compared to many other sites. There are no pop up ads, nothing that tries to open new windows and the ads are confined to the top of the page where they are easy to ignore plus as far as I'm aware they are all legitimate advertisements. I just wanted to take this opportunity to complain about those specific ads which I find annoying.

The ones I'm talking about are the ones that say "catch your mouse" or "go for a ride" I don't know why I think they're particularly ugly and annoying and I don't even know what they're for also I can't remember any other ad being around for this long.

I must admit though, the mouse ad is kind of funny.

Ads are the truest form of evil in this world. Look deep into the pixels of an ad and you will see a thousand screaming, roiling souls, tortured infinitely, before your own soul is ripped out to join them.

Satan, in an interview, was asked if he was responsible for advertisements, and his response was "I know I'm a devil, but I'm not ad evil".

What if you never had one in the first place?

I'd rather the ads be something that wouldn't make the fact that I'm searching rating:s irrelevant. Leave the genitals for those who actually click the link. Not all of us are here to use those.

I'm fairly certain that e926.net has different ads which are adjusted for the forced rating:s.

Yeah, I agree. I don't know who FurFling hires to do their ads, but they are really done poorly

you should be taken out behind the shed for that pun

I apologize for nothing. I regret nothing! But you're right.

For me the worst thing about advertising is the size of the .gif files. I and some others have volume tariffs and the advertising eats some of the data that is available to us. After its consumption we can only with max. 50 kb / s to the Internet. It would be good if you would find an intermediate solution and alternatively advertising in the form of single images in the profile can adjust. This would have the advantage that e621 does not have to forgo revenue and e621 remains also at 50 kb / s functional.

Some of them definitely annoying, but I'd never use an Adblocker. I'd like to support a site that I love.

I agree, to an extent. When I started seeing those awful 'catch your mouse' ads too often I re-blocked it. Whoever created those needs to have their hands taken away.

I'm genuinely curious now what the "catch your mouse" ads are. I tried turning off my adblocker momentarily (what blasphemy, I know!), but I didn't see anything matching that description no matter how many times I reloaded.

I clicked on one of the ads once, what I discovered left me speechless.

It was bizarre, I was getting bombarded with them at first, then through the next 20-30 clicks it was all Bad Dragon or something less stupid/ugly. Then back to the ugly ads. I'll turn my adblocker off and check about to see if I can find it to show you.

Don't ask how I know, I just know this stuff.

BadDragon is the "Default" ad. They have a few "Paid slots" that will show up in the meantime, but once all paid slots run out it's purely just the ads from sites sharing the same owner as e621. These slots refresh daily, I believe.

wow, that's one of the lowest quality GIF's i've seen in a long time. glad i don't normally see ads (unless redtube starts up those unblockable ads...again).

The mouse or the cat thing?

Both. They both run like spastics. Even the girly run (I am yet to meet anyone who actually runs like that) isn't this bad.

why can't we have both?

Looking at the ad, I don't really want either. One looks rabid and the other looks like she's having an epileptic seizure. I get that the fandom is diverse, but there can't be a big market for seizures and rabies.

lol not quite what i meant.

Well, uh. I just experienced what appears to be a heavily JPEG'd series of traditional medias condensed further into a limited palette of 255 max colors in the form of an animated gif.
This Zacky M ad is really blurry as a result.
