WTAF?!

Who signed this off?

One of the USPs of Pistonheads is the forums. A nice cosy place to engage with other enthusiasts. With this new feature we might as well be on Social media.

I am a grown up. If I want to look at the auctions, or classifieds, I'll pop over and have a look.

I DON'T NEED TO HAVE ADS.

I don't see any.

Oh, and the forum is free to use and they can do whatever they like, so suck it up.

Exactly. I have not seen an advert on here for years.

Yes, 997s’ response made me chuckle.

🤣 Yeah, sort of. I think social media as that new stuff like Twitbook and Instalink...

I'm just old n miserable. "Those kids don't know what it was like..."

Done.

This leads me onto another point. Who in the past 5 years REALLY takes onbard a advert?

We all either block them, or skip over them on YouTube.

So, what's the point?

Perhaps I should start a new thread. Is advertising dead?

I now use DNS.adguard.com as the DNS on my mobile.

Zeo ads - not even from apps.
