I didn't think there was a paid version anymore. The last three or four updates from the paid version were all to a free version.

Ads, ads, ads... I'm SICK and TIRED of them. They're everywhere!!! :brucelee:

I can't even watch in peace a debate or a lecture in YouTube without being interrupted every 15 minutes by some obnoxious idiot screaming at me trying to sell me some worthless crap.

I understand advertising powers almost everything in the modern world, but it has become overly intrusive and annoying. I mean, IF I want something, I'll go an buy it, but why must we be constantly bombarded with all that mierda?
Why would someone want a "magic" soap that supposedly gets one thin by the mere act of rubbing it in one´s belly while watching TV and eating chips? Or why would I want to pay someone so she can tell me what "my angels" ( ! ) think of me and my future? So much snake oil out there...

To make things worse, I do contribute to this situation (I write jingles... the music that helps advertisers to convince you to want to buy more crap). :shake:

Sometimes, even that tiny ad square near the top of the page of this forum, wants to lure me to talk live to some hot Colombian señoritas... Ay ay ay.... Las señoritas latinas sabrosas!
Sorry, señoritas... I´ve been taken
:lol:

In all fairness, right now it shows an ad to Netflix.


Ads, ads, ads... They're everywhere. They're getting smarter (as in new ways of popping up when and where you don't expect them) and more annoying.

Come on, MLC. Just open up your wallet!

It only comes as a package when you buy a new kitchen from Great Britain.

I figured out how to turn this off. I guess Tapatalk started an advertising program and opted forum owners in by default. It's turned off now. Although I think I made a whopping $14 over the last 6 months or so. The ads are going bye-bye... along with my $24/year. :)
