Good catch Bullwinkle. For logged in, see the screenshot below. I think you are right, and it does look better logged in. I'm guessing that the previous picture I posted is what most casual browsers see when they discover TBN - so they probably go elsewhere.
Many long time TBN members probably see something like the screen shot below after they log in.
I wonder how many TBNers are even aware of this Feedback forum?
I admit to being old-fashioned enough to think that the amount of advertising - although reduced here - is still excessive.
And I wonder if it will make TBN's readership numbers go down?
Well, to be fair, they have to make money somehow, as the network traffic and data storage, at a minimum, use a fair bit of computing resources (storing all those pictures, for example).
Here in 2021 it's time for everybody to get used to the notion that if you're getting anything free, it means YOU are the product.
For my part, I've slowly begun to wean myself from Google, but it will be a years' long process since I've been using gmail for something like 16 years. I now pay "cash money" , as they say, for protonmail. What google knows about me is just waaaay to much. When I get up, when I go to bed, every product I've ordered from every online site, every credit card bill receipt, you name it. Don't even get me started with the pictures I post, google groups I view, and so on.
Time to open people's eyes. These people who offer us "free" stuff know way too much.
Meanwhile, TBN and their affiliates know how I've spent a lot of money in the last year and the range of orange appliances I've purchased with it.
