Title: Annoying ad
Post by: boba_kate on February 02, 2018, 10:28:30 AM
Are you, guys, annoyed by a huge amount of ad in every crypto blog or website? It so tiring when every post in telegram channels or every video on YouTube contain promotion... worse only that fact that sometimes you don't understand that this is the ad.

Use an adblocker like ublock.  Use it everywhere, even if you want to support a site, because some of those ads can contain malicious payloads.

It really helps against banner ads, but doesn't work well against a context adverts. BTW it's really pity and strange that many people don't use adblock extension...

Even here, the amount of spamming-shilling accounts is pretty big.

It's really annoying and you can't do much about it, aside from reporting. At least you can block ads with adblock.

Well I don't like it either but you know, they're earning that way to provide you with a quality content for free. They have to survive some way and that's the way.

You can add custom filters for those.  And adblock lost a lot of credibility when they started accepting money from advertisers to whitelist them.

You better get used to it, a lot of people will try to shill the coins they are invested in and then there are the people who get paid to promote a company/coin.

You just have to do your own research on which coins/ICOs you want to invest into and don't just go in blind.

Please appreciate banner ads, I do not feel annoyed with ads that do not cover the screen completely but yes I really hate pop-up ads especially if advertising about pornography.

Promotional marketing and paid-posts have pretty much always been around. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to spot them though.

Yes it is annoying, but there is no other choice. Because we use the services of a blog or website we must contribute a little to the services of the blog. as a form of our appreciation that the site owner can work more and better in the future. If we as a site owner will definitely do the same thing by adding ads as one income blog / site.  ;)

Sorry, I misunderstood.  But yeah, the shilling is pretty annoying and it's probably just going to get worse since most of the people involved in crypto right now seem to be the types who would pimp out their own mothers.

It seems me like every person who have at least 100 followers at some media starts to promote someone-s ICO  ;D

I totally agree that it's a bit annoying when there're too many ads. But on the other hand, how do we find out about a really worthwhile project if it's distributed to a closed audience?  ::)

Sometimes i get good project from banner ads. But yes, it's very annoying if it showed every time. There are several solutions to solve this. Try install addblocker plugin in your browser, use a TOR browser, or logout from Google accounts, because google stored your activity history.

You can use adblocker to block ads. Or you can simple browse in privacy mode so your brwoser will not get any cookies from ICO or crypto related sites.
then you will not see ads from ICO and other crypto sites.
