everyone knows mediafire. you know, that thing you started using when you were like 11 to store your powerpoint presentations for class, or just storing your blockland builds.
well, guess what? it's not as lighthearted as it was several years ago.
it's riddled with ads. malicious ones. including those fake tech support scam bluescreen things which you can thankfully flee from with chrome's stop making additional dialogue thing.
with ublock origin off:

ublock origin on:

and, as i mentioned before, you will sometimes get a popup for those fake BSODs that don't even try.
with ublock origin on.you do not do that to your customers. you do not allow malicious ads and scams to appear on your website. no. no. no.
hosting itself sucks as well. why can't i bulk download my files? i need premium. why is storage kinda stuff? i need premium. premium is awful, and at least dropbox lets you earn more instead of forcing you to buy it immediately.
why are people still using it? archives i see are deleted from it all the time, for no reason or because of a false ToS or DMCA.
if anything, stop using mediafire all together and use services like MEGA or Dropbox or any of the other free ones that aren't stuff.
as a PSA to anyone who still uses this:
stop using it and don't support their filth.
