Running singles websites? Now I can see the connection but honestly, no. My wife would have a real issue with that.

Then today: Thai brides! Seriously, Google ads? Seriously?

Anybody else getting ads within the threads, rather than at top/bottom? Very easy to tap when trying to scroll past, and I find them irritating.

For instance, I accidentally accessed information about something called Jordan’s Skinny Syrup. 🤢 Didn’t read it, but it’s in my history and will no doubt skew further advertising. :-(

Ads on all four sides of the screen plus irritating ones while I'm trying to sign in. I think I'm indirectly being told to make a financial contribution!

About This Thread

Maintained by Son of a Pronator Man
Fetch says: "I don't choose the ads, I just supply the holes, and the people who pay my salary and supply a server choose what they want to put in them. The change was a surprise to me too, and I've asked for some clarification on the thinking.

If you get any particularly dodgy ones, e.g. Russian mail order brides, or ones that break the user experience, it would be helpful for me to see some screenshots (ian AT fetcheveryone.com), and I'll feed those back."

And: "I've just clicked the little blue triangle in the top right corner of the ad, and looked at the opt-out options. On the page it took me to (after it took a while to think about it), there was a button called something like 'Choose All Companies' - I clicked that, and thus far, it seems to have opted me out of all the ads."
