Off Topic / Re: UK trying to force research sites to prove their users are 18

The UK looks the other way on the refugee rape crCIA but is enforcing laws to prevent children from looking at research sites..

you know, contrary to popular belief, the UK really does take in forget all refugees compared to the rest of europe. also, the UK is refusing to take in refugees that traveled across europe in the first place. the only reason why the government started was because they where pressured into it by liberals. the previous prime minister was quoted describing them as a "bunch of migrants" lmao.

what really secures the autism award for the people in this thread is that they think mediafire is intentionally putting these ads on their website to trick others.

you are correct that mediafire doesn't have much control over their adverts. however, i am against all types of stuffty adverts that are deceptive or just downright dumb. unfortunately, modern advertising on the internet seems to be cancer pretty much everywhere.

if this means that mediafire doesn't make any money from me, so be it. maybe if enough people run adblockers, they will contact their stuffty advertising partners, and tell them to cut back on their deceptive adverts.

literally 99% of websites rely on ads in this day and age. even blockland forums does. i guess supporting yourself as a business by earning money is a bad idea?

no website relies entirely on their pro options. the amount of money generated by ads far exceeds that generated by premium accounts, which is why they use ads.

look
it even has the mediafire logo for the hard of eyesight such as yourself

i can remember the day that adverts where introduced to the blockland forums, and I am pretty sure it boiled down to making money off freeloaders who don't have accounts on the website. i think it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that blockland relies on adverts to stay afloat.

"it even has the mediafire logo for the hard of eyesight such as yourself"
what do you mean by this? among all the stuffty, deceptive adverts there's a mediafire logo, so that makes it ok!!!! oh, i guess it's just a coincidence that almost all the adverts on the page look like a download button!!!

you know, even adbot's signature makes fun of the absurd adverts that are going round the internet.

maybe maintaining a business which relies entirely on advertisements during an era of the internet where many people are aware that client side ad blockers exist is a bad idea?

anyway, media fire has their pro options, meaning they don't only rely on adverts lmao

honestly, internet adverts are just a relic from TV/radio adverts, marketing guys in suits thought they can make extra money by carrying the idea over. i guess they're kinda pissed that it's so easy to work around. the best part is instead of adverting the actual product, they resort to deceptive "DOWNLOAD NOW" buttons to trick the unaware.


kind of reminds me of a research site tbh, minus the research and the "enlarge your richard today" adverts

The only real problem are the people still using Mediafire when there are numerous objectively better file hosting websites out there.

this i agree with

i've wondered about this for a while. on badspot.us iirc there's a video where he tries (and succeeds) to 180 a honda civic, but that was uploaded a long time ago.

does he drive standard? does he even have a car anymore??? these are important questions, and this mystery needs to be solved.
