it seems strange I’m seeing those lower paying ads so quickly each day.
AIUI, either you’re a more frequent visitor, or you’re blocking cookies. Or Mark’s wrong, or there’s something else amiss.
I imagine the rogue adverts force quite a few people to go full P.
Which makes you wonder where the incentive to tackle them is.
Oh come on Jamie, you’re better than that.
1) it’s more likely to dissuade people from using the forum than to have them upgrade.
2) it’s more likely to drive people to block ads.
3) I’ve seen the process needed to track these down and it’s a needle in a haystack job. Mark had shut entire ad networks down at significant (“we might need to lay someone off”) costs in order to stop them.
Whatever the reason this happens occasionally, it’s certainly not intentional.
