But if you want to really, really get convinced otherwise, go here: http://wcsprings1.reachlocal.net/ I did that, now I am literally seeing their pixelated dump truck everywhere on TL, and on lots of S2 streams. | ||

Same, I've been noticing the elephant recently, I defo don't have adblock on and have even argued with people on streams about adblock hurting esports. I actually had this pm: + Show Spoiler + The reason I like using adblocker is that if I'm already donating to a viewer/group, I don't want to have the game blocked due to advertisements as well. It's a basic aspect of life, any time a special service is provided where if you donate or something, you get ads removed. Go take a basic economics course kid, and learn that adblocker wouldn't "ruin esports." If anything, you're ruining esports by being a mindless fucking sheep who can't donate with his wallet, instead relying on ad revenue to show your financial support. I understand you're probably either a kid or you're a fuckwad with no spare income, but us adults have cash to back anything we support, dumbass. His argument is actually terrible. If I get him right he says that he donates (means ads are switched off) but he also turns on adblock so he doesn't see the advert that is already being blocked? He then states the adverts are removed because he donates... Contradictory much? I declined to reply (mainly because I didn't notice it in my inbox for over a month after it was sent and didn't feel like it). A big shout out to the many thousand 'mindless sheep' who don't use adblock, sup guys can we form club?  He also goes into insults, nice chap. He calls me a 'kid' (I'm 26 but hey whatever), a 'fuckwad with no spare income' and also a 'dumbass'. I watch dozens of different streams (I couldn't donate to all even if I wanted to) so apparently I'm a 'fuckwad'. I am at least a 'fuckwad' who is contributing a small amount to each one when I watch (sometimes I have 3 streams open at a time), rather than to one and then block every other stream. It's fine for those who watch 1-2 streams and donate, but if you watch 50 its impossible. I had to un-follow quite a few recently due to my email being spammed every day with alerts. I still watch the ones I've unfollowed ofc when I see they are on (I'm almost always logged into TL when I'm online). I don't mind adverts at all. I don't feel I miss a whole lot due to them. Usually they only pop up as I am logging into a stream (so if I am missing the middle of a game, I've been missing it already anyway) or when someone is inbetween games or at the end of their stream. Sometimes there are issues due to streams having a delay and the streamer doing /commercial when they leave a game, only for it to cut off the end of their match because its delayed (Destiny!!!!! Yer terrible at this :D), but its pretty uncommon. Anyways, rant mode now off. :p Edit - As to the content of the adverts being related to my history etc, always have really strange ones. Its either Chinese dating, waterproof watches, web hosting, mobile phone sim cards or minibus hire. Seriously, I can categorically state I have never searched for any of this stuff ever and this is the first time I've ever mentioned it in a post lol! | ||

I don't mind ads after each match, but its the ones I watch before, to then learn the stream is now offline/the guy isn't playing/ he's afk and want to find another stream. Very annoying. | ||

Just stop browsing porn site for a week and these ads will go away. I don't use adblock when browsing TL and I am getting most ad about computer parts or something similar. So even if that's true (i don't browse for porn but whatever) why do I get the same ad on my work computer? And before anyone tell me about me logging in to my gmail or something no, I always use my phone for that when not at home. There is no reason that for me to get russianbrides.com or that korean girl ad. It doesn't make it true just because so many people go "lololol, what do u browse?!" every times someone complain about it. I'm sorry but if TL doesn't take responsibility for the ads that are showing then I'll turn on my adblock. Btw, I'm not saying it never takes into account the sites you browse (I get a lot of hardware ads that I suspect might be because of it) but it can't be the only reason. | ||
