klananaI am not sure what websites you have been cruisin through if you are getting ads for online degrees in counter terrorism and sports illustrated swimsuit 2013... but as far as the ads I have seen on the site go, they are not randomly generated. Every single ad I have seen so far has been for a website I have visited at some point in time... which I assume is because enigma is using googles interest-based advertising method - aka ads are placed based on sites you have visited. So if youre getting some wacky ass ads popping up on this site... you may want to think back on what sites you have been to...
all this is fine and dandy. but for someone like me, who takes great care to purge their browser of unneccessary tracking scripts, interest-based ads cannot be selected based on their browsing history.
klananaIMO doing the ads this way is THE BEST way of advertising - especially when you consider how diverse this group is. I have ads enabled and every single ad is for a website I have visited - hell i was even looking at a site that i really wanted to order shoes from and i completely forgot what the website was... then the other day BAM! there was an ad for the site chillin in the forums. It as like a little ad miracle.

I think we can come to the conclusion that if you find ads profitable for yourself then you should use them because it benefits both you and the advertiser. but personally, the likelihood for an ad to make me reach for my wallet is almost 0 and i quite enjoy not looking at ads for things i don't want, i'm sure others feel the same way. i, along with 15 million other people around the world, will continue to use adblock for a cleaner web experience. no commitment, no hidden fees and absolutely free. see what all the buzz is about at http://adblockplus.org today, see you soon!

while I respect your choice to use adblock, I'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying your hardest to convince the rest of the userbase to do the same
the ads on this site go a long way towards supporting development and are pretty much the only source of funding at all for tftv

i like how hooli argues against ads while literally writing an ad.
