There was missing space before now theres huge ass ads. Having ads not in my face was nice while it lasted 😢

Just trying to support the site in some way. Adblock exists for mobile, too.

Mobile is the only way to use gaf properly.

Yea I don't like it. Does anybody else oppose this trend?
Yeah, get them too
I know, this is gaf, but some people like to go outside every now and then. 😉

Yep. Just started seeing them that s morning. Guess I should splurge for a GAF Gold Membership.

Yeah, it was like empty white space and now those big ads.

Yep it's very annoying. I had moments where the ad didn't mod and I'm left with a huge black space at the bottom, thought something was wrong.

I'd totally pay $1 for ad-free, I doubt GAF makesn even that much off me given the ads are always irrelevant and I never click any of them. If it's stupid expensive (like $4 p/m for Reddit) then there's no chance of me subscribing at all.

It might be a good idea to not make the ads on the site a huge pain in the ass and security risk if reducing Adblock usage is a goal.

I wonder if they'll ever invest in an app? I'd be down for a paid app just to make the mobile experience better. It's okay now, but this kind of stuff along with all of the more vile redirect ads makes mobile feel kind of sketch.
Making GAF great again.

Expect to see more of it across the web. Advertisers are making a huge push for desktop ads on mobile; thankfully my company won't go that route. But I expect others are going to.

Am I in the minority who thinks they're okay? I mean obviously everyone prefers less ads, but I think as long as the top one remains at 100px and doesn't become the 250px one at the bottom, it's reasonable enough. These are standard sizing and placements for mobile these days. I mean just personally, that's the setup I use on my own sites.

Yeah noticed it today. It sucks. Used to be very non-intrusive.

Exactly the same size on my screen too. I don't care that much about them, they're mainly ads for mobile games, travel and anime merch

It's terrible if you regularly use the neogaf logo at the bottom of a page to get back to the main page.
On mobile gaf, I haven't seen an ad in the middle is years
like what? other than the ads

The amount of trackers has steadily increased. It's a huge amount now. More than theverge and that site is a resource leech.

That is actually a good point. It would be better if it came after the bottom bar, and it's not like the bar is large enough to block out seeing the ad anyway.

Ad size is in inverse proportion to how good your posts are.
