Hey alfaro - see my post a couple above yours. If *everyone* installs something like adblock, expect the net to have a lot less content - or you have to pay for it.
I agree that popups and redirectors are annoying and unnecessary but most sites rely on some form of income from advertising to survive.

So I think it's perfectly acceptable for Esato to make profit. It's not just here for our freebie enjoyment.
What was life like more than 10 generations ago?....is but one of many questions that spring to mind.

lol, I didn't even notice ads. not even on the mobile version, but thats just me.
Some of the new members haven't been around LONG enough to recall a few years back that Esato's first move to a new server, along with increasing traffic produced empty pockets for the owners/creators (I think there were 3 of them, 1 silent at the time). It took astout members to contribute financially to keep it going as it is today.
AT the end of the day, Esato's hosts have to pay bills to keep this site going. If the majority of the membership this time around could once again contribute, this time I have funds to assist. If it means no more ads. However, if the owners wish to have ads to increase their personal bottom line ... the way their doing it - implementation of WHERE the ads are - is fine with me. They're currently Non-pervasive to most of us. Just no porno, or adult only content, maybe more relevant content to celluar - even if it means a few Motorola ads, lol.

My point being, back then I imagine making money wasn't EVERYONES priority. Especially in the last 50 years it's become an extreme necessity to survice.

The tools which we use to make money have changed & evolved enormously over time...human nature, I would venture, has not.

Even though addblock is available to some people, I don't think this type of thing should be shown on a family friendly, mobile phone forum:
I also have seen ones about adding glitter to my profile or something. What profile? Why would I want glitter anyway. Like the majority of Esato users, I am a male and am uninterested by the wonders of glitter. And the female members who regularly post here seem more sophisticated than to want glitter on their "profile".
