do we need a poll of how much people would pay for a clean site?

 

[MossRoad]

Ironic, that I see no ads on your post.

 

[MAX-24-Dean]

This site is not a Republic or a Democracy. It is a business, that in my opinion has been run very well. That is why I keep coming back reading post (usually) everyday. The ads that are typically seen are related to the topic of why we come here. Tractors!

I for one, am thankful for the advertisers that support this site.

The logged-in ad experience is nearly nothing (2 ads per page) compared to logged out (10-11 ads per page). We make very, very little revenue on logged-in users. I use the same ad layout as a regular logged in user and on this particular page I just loaded, I am seeing zero ads right now.

The mobile app has always been ad free although thanks to mobile layouts, we are not really doing much to update or advance the mobile app these days.

Perhaps that is why the app is no longer available for Apple devices.

Ads? I don't even notice them, it's not like they are popping up while I'm trying to read something. (Unlike other sites.)
Every business needs to pay the bills, and I think that Muhammed, his assistants or the site layout does a good job of making this an easy place for logged in members to visit.

This site does a very good job of keeping ads unobtrusive. The other tractor site I’m a member of (orange site) has annoying ads that often cause the screen to refresh. I don’t visit that site very often because of this.

 

[mrmikey]

I don't even notice the ads. If it brings in a bit of revenue I'd say whatever you're using on this site works for me, no complaints.

It's fee. You can make your ads disappear everywhere.

Relying on Windows for security is like handing the master keys to a prisoner and relying on the honour system to keep the jail locked

The vote is in. 10 no. 1 yes. Arizona and Georgia will have a recount. Expect results in 3 -4 weeks.

Win11 is very good now. But you won't hear that from the security software companies.

A little common sense goes a long way. Don't open attachments or follow links you're not expecting, stay away from sketchy websites and you should be fine. Can't even remember the last time I had a malware infection. Hope I didn't just jinx it.

I am running Safari and cant say I even notice the ads.

You might follow recommendations by the FBI.

Even the FBI says you should use an ad blocker

The feds say cybercriminals are buying online ads to impersonate brands with the aim of stealing or extorting money from victims.

Thanks for your reply.
Right now

I've ads for Jack Link's Beef Jerky - How is that related to TBN?
This is just one of the few sites I'd be willing to drop some ($30? $50?) on to support if I could get it ad-free.
And I am extremely cheap.

 

[psvfd]

I have windows 10 with running brave search, I never see adds as long I m logged in.

 

[Tinhack]

All built in Win11 w/MS Edge. All I run besides that is a couple of tracking killers. There's 64+ on this page alone.

Why would you throw away your money. I have no ads, using Firefox and Ublock origin. Highly recommended now to use an adblocker for security. Not sure about Android/Apple.
