We know it's really suck a wank of balls a lot, I mean A LOT, and it seems like they're running out of cash because they always forcing you to disable the adblocker as to making you keep suffering on annoyingly covering banners and video playback thing that you can't disable.
Just collapse/shutdown already dangit! If you're running out of cash and keep forcing us to supports you with ads then it's already your destiny to be broke.
Major issue: Comically large banners covering the page, Anti-Adblocker popup (new), and that video playback thing that is no way to disable it.
@RSH10Thunderbeam desperately survive by begging all users to turn off adblockers to relying on ads for "better experience"
@32 You have to wrangle that webpage like your ancient ancestors wrangled their prey.
literally the second i access any fandom page i get BOMBARDED with ads.
unfortunately not everthing is on wikipedia, so sometimes i am forced to use that near bankrupt website

- i still use it it's easy for me to absorb information, but we can't deny the abundance of advertisements
+ the problem lies in the fact that advertising generates money , if you place an ad the advertiser receives the profit and then gives it to the fandom company . Humans are inherently greedy so it's difficult to block ads as for videos like Honest Trailer or other ads , they're incredibly annoying to read they crave material things even more than we do . I feel YouTube and Google is better because it has fewer ads if you log in , but fandoms are the same whether you log in or not, so I don't want to read too much of it
+ i recommend using wiki.gg or other wiki because it has fewer ads
fact : if you used ad-blocked you saw have 60 ads blocked by ad-blocked
ublock guys will do a workaround as long as there are submissions.
I don’t mind ads so much. It does bother me when they load in and move the content around, making it impossible to read. What I don’t like about Fandom is that they are a for-profit company that will just copy and paste other wiki content directly on to their site.
@Boeing727200F yeah it's infuriating. I'm trying to look at the technical specifications of the GE 2-D-D-2 and some ad of the site just blocks it
@Boeing727200F Especially if you're on PC, that big butt banner covering the almost upper header of the page literally could give you a motion sickness if I tell the truth
@MonsNotTheMonster oooooooooo train wiki-
ad covers 150% of my screen
FUCK.
ehh, i dont get these ads cause of the kind of ad blocker i use (also bypasses youtube's BS) so i can just see the page fine..
i dont really have a reason to dislike them, yknow ??
but yea the other wiki sites are better than fandom
btw the adblocker is ublock origin, should be on MS edge, chromium browsers, and firefox
Yeah ads are taking over these days…
The nice thing is that many websites support the “Reader” feature on Apple products, which hides ads and other distractions and compiles the text into one long page. Very convenient. Oh and there’s the “Hide Distractions” feature. Also very convenient. lol if you didn’t notice I like Apple.
Yes. Whenever I'm browsing on Locomotive Wiki page, those annoying ads pop up. I sometimes misclick on them too. It's hella annoying and inconvenient to navigate there.
I tend to just hang out on that site when I'm brainstorming for ideas for the next locomotive design I'm planning to make.
@WaterFlavouredSpitfires There's also Wikimedia, used for Official TF2 Wiki page and Minecraft Official Wiki.
Wiki.gg > Fandom
@Thedrmilpilot You can tell it by that "Off Topic" tag I've included there
@LunarEclipseSP I just wanna read about a country from a HOI4 mod I like you dum bas wiki >:(
Keyboard smashing noises
this ones out of topic but congratulations on 150k points
@Boeing727200F popup ads are an invention by screen companies to sell bigger screens.
You gotta make that 1% as big as possible to have any chance reading it.
@Randomplayer Fandom wiki site is getting close to brokeness, they need mo' money and money
@ChaseRacliot @Boeing727200F @ComradeBazookaBall
We noticed you using adblocker

.
God freakin' dangit just collapse already duh!
I just wanna read the friggin text for the page I'm looking at so I can get a braincell :(
At times my screen is 99% ad 1% content I want to see.
I hate it.
Maybe Shakespeare never died
The ads are taking over the world these days. Everyone just want to make a quick buck out of anyone...
I noticed you also get sent to some “virus scanner” websites for no reason, randomly. Maybe it’s just those fandom pages alone but I certainly get it frequently
