Sevengill: Sputnik Pop Up Ads

Sevengill 12.21.16	just look at this bs, you can't even navigate some parts of the page http://tinypic.com/r/2ilfyjd/9
Trundle 12.21.16	i rarely, if ever, get pop ups, tbh
Futures 12.21.16	people in almost 2017 don't use adblock?
Deathconscious 12.21.16	im not getting stuff like that. the only ads that are annoying to me are on my phone when i have to exit out of an ad every fucking time i go to a new page before i can see anything.
DinosaurJones 12.21.16	Damn, that's bad.
Sevengill 12.21.16	yeah the mobile ones are paralyzing, especially because you have to zoom way in to hit that tiny X, and it usually goes off-screen when you try
AlexKzillion 12.21.16	The only ads I have a problem with are the mobile ones that take you to facebook survey things against your will.
ZippaThaRippa 12.21.16	1. I clicked on this list expecting this to be a rant about pop-up ads on the mobile site (which are awful). How in the sweet name of fuck do you live in this day and age without an adblocker? How do you watch porn? How do you LIVE? 2. Silencer sucks.
Equium 12.21.16	i mean at this point if you're not smart enough to use an ad-blocker you deserve a shitty internet experience tbh
TwigTW 12.21.16	Sputnik is a nightmare on the mobile.
Snowdog808 12.21.16	I pretty much always have to refresh on an artist page these days to clear those damn pop-ups, and I'm pretty sure they'll be able to find a way around Ad Block really quick.
Cygnatti 12.21.16	adblock, fam
Equium 12.21.16	"and I'm pretty sure they'll be able to find a way around Ad Block really quick" you must be new to sputnik
FullOfSounds 12.21.16	I don't have these
rabidfish 12.21.16	adblock that shit, you dipshits
ZippaThaRippa 12.21.16	"you must be new to sputnik" he must be new to the internet
Equium 12.21.16	i mean if you're cool with ads it's one thing but don't bitch about them when an easy and obvious fix exists.
Futures 12.21.16	if you don't use adblock you are just an idiot
ZippaThaRippa 12.21.16	http://imgur.com/a/kZlvk This is how Sputnik looks to me
Cygnatti 12.21.16	adblock doesn't work on my phone tbh :/
Equium 12.21.16	lol zip
NeroCorleone80 12.21.16	I've been using adblock so long that I pretty much forgot ads existed
Futures 12.21.16	yeah the mobile ones are out of control
ZippaThaRippa 12.21.16	Yeah same until I try to load a youtube video on my phone. Oh and those MOTHERFUCKING REDIRECTS
Tyler. 12.21.16	the fuck is a ad-block
FullOfSounds 12.21.16	they just follow you everywhere
TVC15 12.21.16	You could also find ad blocker apps on phone and iPad/tablet tbh

Sevengill 12.21.16	okay I get it, adbock is a necessity, but that's just treating the symptom. who thought these ads were a good idea in the first place?
Tyler. 12.21.16	mx
Equium 12.21.16	do you seriously not understand how websites make money? you're basically asking why tv shows have commercials.
ZippaThaRippa 12.21.16	If Sevengill doesn't even use adblock do you really expect to her to grasp the concept of server upkeep?
Equium 12.21.16	i try to assume good faith it's backfiring hard itt
NeroCorleone80 12.21.16	I use adblock just as much for security than to block ads. My last pc got destroyed by an infected banner that had malware, so I'd rather block potentially malicious codes from ads
Cygnatti 12.21.16	"who thought these ads were a good idea in the first place?" people who thought the site should continue to exist.
Asdfp277 12.21.16	i disabled adblock plus on sputnik and it looks just fine ://
Equium 12.21.16	why
Asdfp277 12.21.16	cuz i like sputnik, and i don't get the annoying adds so it doesn't bother me
rabidfish 12.21.16	Without internet ads I wouldn't be able to tell if science has finally gone too far or not.
Deathconscious 12.21.16	i have ad block, i just have it disabled for this site to support it and because i dont get any intrusive ads while im on my computer so they dont bother me. my phone is a different story.
ZippaThaRippa 12.21.16	Because google did a profile on Asdfp and realized that he doesn't like anything.
Asdfp277 12.21.16	exactly
Equium 12.21.16	hope you guys at least have an anti-tracker app
Asdfp277 12.21.16	bitch, i don't even have a phone
Equium 12.21.16	right because trackers only exist when using smart phones enjoy your malware bitch
zaruyache 12.21.16	I don't use an adblocker on my phone because sput is seriously the only place I can remember off-hand that's given me actual problems with ads. I get banner ads (horizontal rectangles) that cover text and are sometimes impossible to remove, and they move along as you scroll so they're pretty intrusive. Having such intrusive ads is bad for business since it just encourages me to get around to blocking them, which loses Sput money.
Asdfp277 12.21.16	but anti-tracker apps (or the concept of apps, period) only exist for phones bruh, r u stupid
Sevengill 12.21.16	"If Sevengill doesn't even use adblock do you really expect to her to grasp the concept of server upkeep?" yeah!
Sevengill 12.21.16	wait
Equium 12.21.16	"but anti-tracker apps (or the concept of apps, period) only exist for phones bruh, r u stupid" imagine being this unintelligent
ScuroFantasma 12.21.16	Only ever had problems on mobile, and I rarely go on the mobile site
RogueNine 12.21.16	Mobile is a headache, for this very reason.
Drifter 12.21.16	I dont ever have this problem
DominionMM1 12.21.16	yeah but how else would i know what ricky martin is up to?
GhostOfSarcasticBtrd 12.21.16	"imagine being this unintelligent" They don't call him assclap420 for nothing.
Damus 01.08.17	I can't even see the fucking page
smaugman 01.08.17	they are god damn retarded and ugly af on phone pls get rid of them
smaugman 01.08.17	like i get ads, but they are very poorly designed
Deathconscious 01.08.17	i get what seven is talking about now. ive recently been getting those pop ups that cover up good portions of the page. had to turn ad block on for this site.
dbizzles 01.08.17	Yo, the ads that you have to zoom to kill are easier if you just turn your phone horizontal. Works like a charm for me at least.
Deathconscious 01.08.17	im on my PC. only used to get that kind of shit on my phone but not anymore i guess.
dbizzles 01.08.17	Oh, shit. I don't have problems on PC at all.
