RE: Addit - How hidden ads and activity markets are ruining Reddit's user controlled content

in #social7 years ago

Hello @acidyo how ads in internet,

More specifically, they're ruining many ad-supported websites. Any time I visit an ad-supported website these days I almost always have to sit and wait for a minute or more for all the ads to load before I can even start navigating the damn site. It doesn't seem to matter how spec'd out the device or how fast the connection. I get the feeling even if I were browsing on Google's quantum computer with a gigabit connection these ads would still be a problem.

I understand that ad revenue is what makes the internet go 'round, but when your ads are making your site nearly useless it's time to rethink your strategy. Having people just click away from your site because they think something is broken or they just get tired of waiting probably isn't in your growth plan. Until they can be coded to use a lot less bandwidth, not having video ads is a good start.
