While I understand the…well, not really “need”, since you get money from other sources…but while I understand the need to put ads wherever you can to stay profitable, there is a point where that becomes too much.
I don’t mind the silent, still ads that cover the entire right side of my screen when I’m checking out “Semper Puppy” (which I happen to pay for, every month).
But when, as happens VERY often now, an ad PLAYS while a song is playing, completely RUINING the song and doing nothing but make me say “Well, fck that product, I’m never buying it now…”, that’s too much.
So are the FULL-PAGE ads I have to click out of after stealthily moving my screen to the correct position before I can even SEE the “X” to stop them.
It’s reminiscent of Neopets’ “Advert Attack”…quite similar actually, thus eerie.
It’s also making me think VERY seriously about dropping my membership. So do with that what you will…I mean, I don’t want to drop it, but I’m not gonna PAY to be SHOWN ads. Especially when they interfere with the normal broadcast of a radio program.
-Puppy >.< Yip!
