New Advert Provider Incoming

I look forward to no longer seeing advert after advert proclaiming 'girl shows off her enormous chest size at Auckland campsite' together with an (in)appropriate photograph. This ad is downloaded multiple times for most of the recent 35mmc issues recently and has really ruined the experience. It can take upwards of twenty percent of my iPad battery to download the wordier postings and half an hour to read them, sometimes taking for or five attempts to read a single paragraph for long enough to actually read it all. 90 plus percent of the ads, if any at all, would be of no interest whatsoever to any of the readers of 35mmc and the advertisers are throwing money down the drain. I really can’t understand how it all works. Is it not possible to get at least some ads relevant to photography, events or some suchlike? I am sorry, but my interest in analogue photography at the moment does not warrant me spending any of my limited income on becoming a paying subscriber, I can’t be the only one can I?

Hi Hamish,

Just now seeing that the new supplier is inserting ads in articles I'm viewing... even though I'm a contributor. They may need to tweak their algorithm on that!

Cheers,

Dave

Actually, I need to correct my prior statement! I think the prior supplier's system recognized my PC's IP address as being from a contributor's PC... and let me read articles ad-free even if I hadn't logged into 35mmc first. Now, if I haven't logged into the site before opening a 35mmc article, I don't see actual ads, but the large black banner about becoming an ad-free reader blocks the screen and won't go away. But if I log into the site before trying to read any articles, my viewing on the PC is ad-free and unobstructed.

Thanks Hamish!

Dave
