Ad Problem.

Bro if scrolling past some things is "awkward" then you got another thing coming

 

just saying

 

Why does it matter how much space my messages take up??

 

arent ads based on your preferences? someone forgot to turn on icognito mode here

 

Just get ADBLOCK PLUS

 

can we talk about how fudging racy all these ads are these days?

 

Actually no. That's called personalized adds and it's used on social media platforms to try and attract you to similar stuff you've watched, read, etc. On website like this, it's advertisements that have paid to be advertised in the site, or it's the owner of the site who chooses which adds will be displayed on the site. You'll see the same thing in online news articles, something like Wikipedia, and other sites where adds are the main source of income. In this case, it's not personalized adds but kano choosing which adds will be presented to its audience.

It's a little something called clogging the thread and to just about everyone else in the community, it's irritating and annoying because it's unnecessary. It's annoying to scroll through 15 messages (Which do in fact take up a lot of space, especially if you have a long signature) to get to the useful replies when you could've easily combined the messages or just replied in a different thread where it's relevant. In this case it was wasn't necessary for you to have even replied that may times or put it in a different thread as it shouldn't've even been messaged in the first place. That's why it matters.

 

true but more than social media does that. It is different than algorithms for what you watch on there. Most free apps track you and target ads, and sell your information to third parties. that's how they make money. this in particular, kano gets money from letting trackers onto their websites to track people and get their information, as well as kano doing that, and google tracks you and will sell that same information to ad companies, some of which are hired by kano for freerider and then put on here. Just so you know, I don't look at p*rn or anything like that...so that isn't getting put towards me for that, chances are it is being targeted simply because they found out I am a teenage boy. The amount of data points that they have per person is insane. But you are correct in some senses.

Overall kano does not decide which ads, just the companies putting ads on. Bonvoyaged specifically is doing this and has harmless ads as well. They just get to choose the thumbnail for the ad, whether true or not. It's clickbait and a thirst trap using big boobs to get males to click on it. simple as that.

 

inappropriate? ads are based on things you view.

 

Lol I use Firefox and there are no ads

 

wait really??
then again its firefox, whoh uses firefox

 

Well what are you looking up?

 

idk if its just on what you have been looking up; I keep getting ads on becoming an animator, but I have never done or looked up anything about animation

 

It's not happening anymore

 

I have had some very innapropriate ads on my school chromebook on a school gmail. Here is but a preview



(no but really it's a problem)

 

people should just get ad blockers if it does happen again

 

Definitely still happening. I’ve had full nudity from the back shown not to long ago. This is a school account on a brand new school computer. I’ve reported those adds multiple times and those have gone away, but the school has blocked any apps/extensions so I can’t get an ad blocker

 

For my county, the ad blocker is recommended by the district executives. Try getting uBlock Origin.

 

what the hell is this
