ya i use ublock a forgetton it's really good

didn't adblock pull an starfish move where it allowed even more ads than it should or something or was that a fake
Yes, it allowed services to buy whitelist rights through their service. It came to the point where the service wasn't doing its intended purpose.



Also in regards to the whole ads on websites thing:

Companies can whitelist or blacklist certain ads or categories of ads for their websites, or even on certain parts of their websites. This is mutually beneficial to the company hosting the ads on their website as they get ads appropriate to their site content and thus continued traffic, and for the ad supplier, which benefits from having their ad service continued with the hosting website.  

They can in fact meticulously choose their ads if they want, but doing so would be bad business sense and it would apply to a narrower demographic. It depends on which ad servicer you subscribe to.

However if you are using a website creation service, you often just get whatever the creation service offers you, with no choice. But that is the service acting as a middleman, not a direct business relationship between the creator of the web service and the ad supplier.

i've gotten loving ransomeware from mediafire, so no loving way i'm turning that stuff off.

mediafire is stuff and it's ad's are stuff
case closed
Yeah Mediafire is an absolute relic honestly. Only reason I could see anybody going there nowadays is because of clicking an oldass link to download some oldass file from way back when MF was the main option at the time.

Good thing I use ublock

I'm not going to turn it off for Mediafire, the ammount of ads and stuff they run always causes the website to run to a loving crawl

i remember i used to download loads of minecraft mods of mediafire

ah, the good ol days


a website with no other source of revenue


anyway the point is, ads are fine. malicious ads aren't

i never visit sites that block ad blocker.

ironic they want to force you to view ads, while forcing you to not visit at all.

all i did was block the elements with ublock an it works fine now

People still use mediafire?

Well, I guess there's people who were still using photobucket, too.

honestly on one end i want mediafire to be gone because of it's over-the-top ads and such, but
at the same time there's so many old files on mediafire that will be lost forever if it was to shut down
it's like one of the earliest, most used file uploading sites which doesn't have a file timeout or hasn't shutdown since.
