OK. One more try before I give up and demand a refund...
This morning I logged in, and imagine my surprise when I was told to disable my adblocker. So, after wanting to just delete this site from my regular reading routine, I calmed down and realized that I do read this site every day, and have been a member for a very long time, so I should throw some $$ your way and resubscribe. After all, this will get me an ad-free experience and then I wouldn't need an ad blocker for gamedev right?
So I did this. I signed up for GDNet+ Ad-Free but I still see ads (see attached picture). What the hell guys? When you say ad free , I expect it to be just that: no ads. Period. I can't help but feel that I just wasted $82 CDN ($64.99 after exchange). So thanks.
Also, this business of disabling for ad-blockers? Kinda scummy. Ads are constant vectors for malware. I don't know where your ads come from, and I don't trust any site on the internet that delivers ads. That's my rationale for using a blocker and it's not paranoia, it's a fact. Ads with malware happen. So, unless you can guarantee me, in writing, that your ads are 100% vetted for malware, I will not disable my blocker. You might want to consider a gentler approach and ask people to subscribe instead for an ad-free experience (and thus, no need for a blocker)
That angry rant being what it is, I value this site, and I've subscribed to show that. But I've paid for zero ads, so please fix it.
I've attached an image showing the ads that I'm seeing.
