mediafire is using ads because they don't get attention, and that's how it's able to stay in business. it has nothing to do with their 'selection' of ads, which, mind you, is nonexistent since they don't choose what ads get displayed. if you and other people want to use a flashier, better file uploading service, nobody's stopping you or condemning you. but you condemning people for using mediafire and condemning mediafire for trying to earn money just shows how little of the big picture you actually see

Mediafire did used to get that kind of attention. It used to be very major and was used for alot, almost as much as dropbox.
They let it go downhill because unlike dropbox they let the site fall into the state of looking like something from 2010 and letting their ad service provider riddle them with stuffty ads. Google doesn't do that stuff and has templates you have to follow, meaning all the "download nows" are easily told out by the things at the topright of the border. So, everyone wins. Google doesn't have to filter. Mediafire doesn't have to do anything.

as opposed to you dodging what i said so you can push your narrative on why mediafire is intentionally evil and a bad service and why we as consumers should not make our own decision on what service we use

once again a really inaccurate description on why they lost traffic
apparently in your world, they lost it because their ads were bad or something, even though they lost traffic like 3-4 years ago when dropbox and other sharing services essentially replaced them. the use of ads is now their last resort as a free business to keep the, once again, 900 million dollars of data operational
