mediafire now blocks you out when using an adblocker

[IkeTheGeneric]

they don't choose what ads get displayed.

how did you come to this conclusion

as opposed to you dodging what i said so you can push your narrative on why mediafire is intentionally evil--

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 we keep saying that they're stuffty because they have stuffty, intrusive, malware-ridden pop-up ads on their stuffty outdated website and inferior hosting service.

[Arekan]

and you're stuff-flinging about what exactly? because you're upset? forget did i do to you?

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?

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

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.

jesus loving christ why do kott and path keep on editing their posts after posting them
on every
single
post

it's like they're doing this on purpose to leave weaknesses in people who reply to them before they edit

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.

They're doing this on every post.

It's hard to argue with people who just don't know how advertisement works on websites. PhantOS keeps talking about how people are jumping to conclusions to blame Mediafire, but Mediafire is definitely at fault and should be blamed.

I'm convinced PhantOS has a compulsive special interest for playing devil's advocate for the underdog of a topic just to make people mad at this point, because the only thing to get out of this whole argument is stuffty smug satisfaction that you told off a bunch of people about just how wrong they were about a website they don't even loving use anymore

[PhantOS]

how did you come to this conclusion

it's literally the website hiring an ad server to display banners. the website doesn't have much say in what ads are displayed unless they are willing to dish out extra money for targeting

they're losing a hell lot more money not filtering their ads than they would be when having the filter
mediafire will die as less and less people continue using their outdated website

Well.. that's.. exactly the point. Mediafire didn't dish out that extra money, so people are moving on to websites that DID dish out that extra money. It's their own fault. They can be blamed for it. It was their decision.

Not only is there a larger selection of ad servers to curate from, I'm fairly sure there are many mediums which other developers help find and curate the best ad servers. Mediafire is garbage-tier and probably settled with the stufftiest ad server because their entire development history is a long string of half-measures and incompetence.

Where are these insults coming from?

let's ignore seconds ago you called me useless in the debate and all in all being dismissive because i was trying to get it straight with a numbskulled person in the forums. even though i wasn't insulting, i said you were stuff-flinging, that's not an insult by the way, that's what you're doing. you're telling me i'm useless without even caring to throw your input in.

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.

this wasn't what happened, and if your posts right now are showing this lazy and dismissive effort to call me out why bother even replying? again, i was getting it straight to an idiot on the forums that implied this black & white thinking.

Where did this notion that I'm upset at you even come from?

because you did this stupid and short thing where you actually dismissed and called me useless and didn't even bother to reply to me? what else would i think?

i don't even agree with phantos on the matter, mediafire is stuff. i wasn't even in this conversation in the beginning

[Verification]

Why the hell do you refer to me as an "idiot on the forums"? You can refer to me as my loving name like I refer to you as.
Also, dismissing arguments with the same argument but altered to combat minor flaws that are patched up by earlier posts isn't "telling it straight". It's being a hardass.

[Arekan]

Køtt is also useless to debate with

You were sidetracking the conversation when you could've just as easily taken it to DMs because it was targeted specifically at Verification.

so you forgot the part where i said "you're carrying an implied statement"? okay

sidetracking? what the forget is this stuff? i'm not allowed to argue about something specific here? what's your point in this sentence?
