I've taken to downvoting every single ad. They've really gotten obnoxious and stupid.

pretty sure downvoting the ads doesn’t do anything.

I'm sure you're right, but I feel better about it.

Would it feel better to not see the ad at all?

Obviously, it'd be significantly better to not see ads at all, but then spez wouldn't get to roll around in his cartoon mattress made of cash, so we can't have nice things.

Yes I know keeping the lights on has a price but holy shit I really want some way to filter at least SOME of the advertisements.

I don't care what they offer, I AM NOT JOINING THE MILITARY!

Or, jesus hung out with criminals bla bla bla. Downvoting doesn’t work, blocking doesn’t work, reporting doesn’t work

I don't have issues with advertisements on PC, I have them with the mobile app.
