    WTF? My money isn't enough?

    How about this:

    I pay hard-earned dollars for a bullshit-free experience here...by that I mean I pay so that I don't get inundated with irrelevant (and terribly annoying) advertising. 

    The funny thing is, now I get to see all of YOUR advertising...which is still irrelevant and terribly annoying.

    When you can stop ALL advertising to premium members, maybe....just maybe, I will set a clock and make special arrangements just so I can vote for your fucking award.

    Hate to break it to you, but usually "Remove advertisements" means "Remove Third Party advertisements". I mean, they have to get money somehow, if not from it's users. I don't complain about advertising from Skype or Amazon, because I happen use their service. If you use their service, they kind of have the right to self-advertise.

    *Oh... Just got an email from Skype right now, which I think I'll swiftly delete. It may be annoying, but it's necessary...

    I have yet to experience 'inundation' rank debits of advertising on behalf of DA. I get where you're coming from and I share some of the frustrations (throughout my 9 years here, I've had no intention if purchasing prints and no offer will change my mind), but I must disagree with the claim that it's too excessive.

    If they want me to participate in getting them this feather in their cap, I would have to require that they set themselves apart in a much more significant manner...like being a little less greedy than the rest. If I am paying for no advertising, I want NO advertising.

    As for "excessive", that is a matter of opinion also, but please accept my apologies if my language offends you.

    just a suggestion. if you use Firefox, you can add, a add on called ad blocker. it blocks ads everywhere and you can set which sites show ads (if you support a site with them). ad blocker is totally free to. =]

    gnubakaduba In reply to reddog-f6 [2014-03-11 02:00:58 +0000 UTC]

    The ads I am referring to are the ones directly from DA...the ones for the print shop etc. Will this add-on take care of those?
    I don't use Firefox anyway, but thanks for the suggestion.

    reddog-f6 In reply to gnubakaduba [2014-03-11 02:12:23 +0000 UTC]

    no i don't think it effects those. but ad block does take care of those banner ads on your profile or the ones on the sides/ corners when looking through art pages. just gets rid of some nuisances for free.

    there is another free add on called styles which changes the look of deviant art. iam useing a few such as classic symbol, which brings back the original: ~,*,= member symbols.

    and another style that removes all the "need premium membership" labels that float everywhere. you could possibly find one that deals with the DA adds.

    I would suggest Chrome instead...just saying. It's way better + has an add-block extension. I think the ONLY add I see in prints or in DA at all is the one add on the top next to the "shop" tab...and I'm not even a premium member XD
