Do ad companies get scammed by paying out for views that bots are creating?

They might filter those out by IP

This is driven by the forum software that runs this place. The owners/admins would need to disable it, probably for a fee.

I've got $3

So has everybody else now started to get drop-down adds on the top of mobile screens?

Annoying as fuck because it actually covers the page, unlike the ones that are embedded in and part of the page.

I use AdGuard sometimes to get rid of them, the annoying part of that is the VPN AdGuard creates blocks AAWireless from working. So it's a constant game of toggling it on and off.

oh and wow, looks like its on web browsers too

I use uBlock Origin on both desktop and mobile and I've never gotten any ads on the forums.

Won't catch me paying for Jay's mortgage.

What browser on mobile though? I didn't think it worked with Chrome on mobile.

Firefox's mobile browser lets you use a bunch of different extensions, including uBlock Origin. I use a few other privacy/anti-tracker extensions, like Ghostery, HTTPS everywhere and Privacy Badger.

I'd assume the owner/admins could choose what kind of ads they want. Banner ads, popup ads, drop-down ads, etc...

Yes, but I’m sure as they roll out new ad types, they’re turned on automatically with broad default settings and the admin needs to disable/adjust

I'd assume the owner/admins are not very sentiant

I’m using all that via mobile safari.
Some websites hate it so much you can’t access them
