holy stuff why do you keep saying this? literally nobody has said that mediafire loving intentionally places these ads to rake in as much cash as they can from poor little ol stupid dumb motherforgeters who don't know how to click on the download button with the mediafire logo on it. we keep saying that they're stuffty because they have stuffty, intrusive, malware-ridden pop-up ads on their stuffty outdated website and inferior hosting service.

Where are these insults coming from? I'm commenting about how you're trying to join in on this debate but all I see in your posts are repeated mentions of Blockland not being associated with ads on the forums or something completely irrelevant after the point was established. Where did this notion that I'm upset at you even come from?

What I said is that Mediafire is doing what its doing now because it isn't gaining attention. It's not gaining attention because it's resorting to being a stuff service and using shifty ad services without monitoring what ads they receive. Other services can hold their own perfectly well without doing what Mediafire is doing, while you claim "MEDIAFIRE HAS TO!" Clearly, Mediafire would not have to resort to these things, if it just paid a little extra attention to itself. Now, all their traffic has moved on. They have to punish the current dedicated userbase that still host their files on the website by shoving obtrusive ads and using adblock-detecting scripts.

that's a really dumb conspiracy theory
maybe give your opponent a little bit more time before you lash out on them, alright? everybody goes back to edit something that they left out or made wrong at some point.
