And in return you're smacked in the face with the politics they're trying to keep you safe from. Brutal.

On the front page this is the ad I got. The political ads in my experience have been happening on the console sections.

I used to not to mind ads when it was just a banner at the top of the screen. I'm not tech savvy so I never knew how to go about getting a ad blocker and knowing if one was legit.

Someone posted a VPN on here and explained to me how to activate. Haven't seen a ad since.

Must be a low quality VPN though cause I still can't access the hub since my state did that thing.

I don't know if this will fix that, but have you tried Opera's built-in free VPN? It's just downloading the browser and then clicking on the VPN button to the left of the URL bar. You can't select specific countries, but switch between Asia, Europe and America.

Thread is meant to be a discussion about the site having rules and than the ads having another. It would be like GameFAQs saying porn is banned but have porn ads. I thought ads were supposed to align with the rules of the site instead of shutting down this question saying use adblock and ignore the hypocrisy.

I wouldn't know. I don't know if Opera even has a mobile version. I only use Opera for my laptop. I use Brave for my phone, but I don't think that one has a VPN. So I guess it wasn't much help at all

If you get in trouble I would argue it's simply a screen shot of the site and probably a lot of other people saw it themselves anyways

That would be logical, rational and sensible, so I would not bet on any of that.

Iirc this has been asked. Darth Toast's response was something like "report any inappropriate ads you see." You know, the usual corpo speak. Please use adblock TC.

Logically yes but rule-wise no. We're not supposed to quote any offending materials, including ads

Yup, that was me and several others. When asked why we need to police the ads instead of Fandom vetting them and how he could guarantee no other inappropriate ads would take its place we got crickets.

I don't know why the url looks like this, but this is the FBI's official recommendation to always use ad blockers: https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221

I thought the Whitehouse and CISA had ones too, but they weren't in the top results. Edit: the CISA one is a pdf which I won't link to. NSA and CIA also recommend adblockers.

They sell keys for games, basically an imitation of greenmangaming. Sometimes they have new games for cheaper than other places. I used them once or twice but once I realised they were owned by Fandom I'll never use them again.
