Let me pay to not see ads

I would love to have the option to pay a monthly or yearly subscription to get an ad-free version of the site. I absolutely will never click on ads so you're not getting any ad revenue from me anyway, and it really slows down the site and hurts user experience. I understand that you need to make money, but I think you might find that you actually make more money this way.

Also, as feedback on the ads, I quite often see diet ads here! That doesn't really seem appropriate at all. Especially dodgy fad ones.

I never see ads on my computer, i didn't even know there were any on this site! Ask any computer smart person how to make that happen for you, it's not hard, my hubby does it to all our families computers. i'd have to ask him what it's called, but it works great!

I view the site on my iPad and you can't block ads on iOS. I can use the iOS app but it uses too much data and battery, so I would prefer to just use the website.

Website are not free to run. The reason there are ads is to pay for the cost of running them. If you block the ads you take away that revenue and you are a free-loader. I would rather not have the ads but not be a free-loader, so I asked for the ability to pay not to see the ads. It certainly doesn't mean everyone else would have to pay too. I can't believe people are stirring **** up and starting 3-4 other threads about this instead of just asking Alex to clarify what he means. Don't we all have enough drama in our lives?

Not all pc/iPads can block the ads and even those who can don't want to because it messes with other options they prefer to keep. I block ads on my desk top but not on my laptop or iPad for various reasons

So I was wondering...

I am four days post op. I had a forty through a straw, a dozen wings with my pizza and a smoke while reading this thread. Is that ok?

:lol: :lol: :lol:
