Not much real estate left for the posts!

Indeed ! Just went off the scale today !
Anyway I usually use Ecosia for mobile browsing and just set the options as follows, which seems to have done the trick 🤞

+1 for ABP on a Macbook Pro using Firefox. No ads or popups at all.

That said, I guess the owners need to at least have some means of making the site pay for itself. Sounds like it's previously not been making enough or else it's a case of just now aiming to maximize the profits...

I installed Pi-hole on a raspberry pie that provides network wide ad blocking for all devices on my wifi. Haven’t seen an ad in 12 months.

Do they get paid if everyone uses ad blockers? Now they put the penalty on me for not using one...
Hoped they find the right balance

I think I've only seen adverts even not logged in. I don't have any ad blockers running, and on mobile. Strange!

If you’re using IPhone or iPad, I’ve found BlockBear from the App Store has worked perfectly. Give it a go - we don’t want to lose you!
