Yeah we have Swedish sites like that too lmao.
Yeah but they sure can have like .. their ads around the sites rather than every 5 second in the video? >>
PSA: If you like TBT, don't use adblock.

I don't know what sort of YouTube you're going to if you're getting bombarded with ads, as I get them infrequently. Found a weird McVities app from one of the ads too so it's all good.
How much does this one five second advert for an 11 minute video bother you? If you were watching the telly it would be three minutes of adverts... just saying.

Unfortunately due to some personal issues with me getting paranoid about ads "watching me" as well as intrusive ads I have to leave adblock on. I might throw money at the forums directly to offshoot this though!

Yeah, Google bases ads on stuff like your search history. Gets a bit spooky! (ﾉﾟοﾟ)ﾉ
With adblocker you can remove and disable it from a single site, I suggest doing that on TBT if you want to keep adblocker. I mean you use this site for free and seems to have fun so why not help with revenue a little bit

I don't know if this was in jest or not but shrugs yeah it legit ****s me up, and with how annoying ads are nowadays Id rather drop money directly into a donation box than have to deal with ads. Maybe give people a choice how to support the forums? That would be coolio.

May be controversial but perhaps there could be a system where giving money to the site could give benefits like more forum Bells.
YouTube has the option of watching ad-free at a cost, though it's America only and the adverts are very tolerable on there. Not sure if many other places do, currently.
Yeah, if I could I'd totally give money to the site... I'd rather do that than deal with shady ads tbh.
Well.. might be a good idea but people will probably use ABP for youtube as well.. shrugs

you can do anything
some of the ads I get are in Spanish
I honestly don't know if I have adblock or not. I see ads at the bottom of the home page of the site, but not anywhere else. I don't know how to disable it for this site if I have it as a default setting (I use Chrome to browse).
If by this you mean you only see ads on the TBT homepage and not anywhere else on TBT (as opposed to anywhere else on the internet) that's because the ad only appears on the TBT homepage.

I don't use Adblock and I can stand the ads, if it is videos ads it is a different story. Thanks for letting us know not to use adblock and not to click on them.

Yeah, if you're logged in there is one ad banner at the bottom of the page. If you're not logged in there is one at the top as well on every page. If you have AdBlock, one of these icons will be in the top-right corner of your browser, depending on the variation you have:
I get weight loss ads, thanks ads
That is unless you use this adblock lol
