Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Is it just me or are there more adverts on Fetch

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."
