What makes me lose interest most in a site
« on: Yesterday at 02:54:52 AM »
When I’m looking for what I may decide to look at or read and scrolling through I find the same article multiple times. The problem is that there is a waste of my time reading what I’ve already read and this makes me move on. So, good luck with this useless  fill as I’m sure not the only one a site loses over what I consider to be a deceptive waste of time…

  The one I gave up on isn't news article's, it's ads. When an ad pops up, and I have an ad blocker on the computer, but some get threw. It's usually a ''doctor'', so they claim, and try to sell you a supplement, or some get well drug or pill and you have to click on the link, don't do it. Little over a year ago, 'puter got a virus. Took it to a shop, and had the ad blocker put in and never click on anything unless it's from a friend that I know. Just read a warning, that now they've got so good, there's an ad with Elon Musk claiming they've come up with a pill to cure diabetes and high blood pressure that they discovered trying to help astronauts with long term space travel. Must be AI generated.

  I have had a plethora of ads come up recently when I stop here in GBO.  Do ads bother ? Sure they do, but then I stopped to think, GBO costs to operate, and Bill has already said he is having trouble making ends meet, so I don't mind if the ads help him to continue.

  Since there are only 2 sites that I am signed into, I don't know but what those are just ads that are hitch hiking, or if they do help keep GBO going.

  If it is the latter case, I don't mind...sinc it is helping.
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
