This is just stupid.
What about all those ads about meeting singles? Google wants me to meet "100s of singles in my area" I never turn on the setting that tunes the ads to my cookies/site data. That's just creepy and invasive.... Even still, "Hot Russian Singles" are ready to meet me. Ad Block is my solution. ![]() Google is NOT innocent here.

Double standards and hypocrisy by Google in my estimation but Neal doesn't really have a choice.

Got sick of their Cougar and other desperado ads, so just blocked google ads completely via my AV software.
Adsense? More like Nonsense. |

No, I didn't back into any door knobs when I got out of the shower.

The problem with ad blockers is that Neal won't get any revenue then to keep the site running. That's why I don't block them and just ignore them manually.

I am fairly sure that the ad needs to be clicked for Subsim to get any money out of it.

I have never purchased anything from a pop up or banner ad, nor do I expect to. Even if I was looking for that exact product, I would not click on the link, just for principles.
