The "The Lying Game" background and ads

I'm sure most of us, by now, have installed Ad Blocking programs to out browsers to block ads and everything, but I know there are still some users who haven't downloaded it, and this is what they see:http://prntscr.com/2nooc I find it completely ridiculous. This is that Walmart Ad all over again. As well as a rogue Tampon Ad that was around that would edit the background, that was repeatedly reported by me, but never taken care of when I asked multiple times for Wetpaint to fix the damn ad. I don't see it anymore, so I guess I can't be too upset, but it sure as hell took a long time! I know Wetpaint gets money for this, and they need it, but are you freaking kidding me? No one wants to see this crap. NO ONE. If I were to go around and poll every single user that is currently active on Wetpaint sites, and ask them their opinion, I am willing to bet a million dollars that at least 99% of the users would hate this. There are plenty of other ways to generate Revenue, besides making us have un-wanted, edited backgrounds about shows people could care less about. Like for example, if people of an Anime site were to get on, and not have an Ad Block, wanting to look at Anime, and they see in the background, and at least 2 of the ads being about a show they don't know, and don't care about, that isn't what they went to the site for. They went there for anime. NOT to be informed about a Show everyone doesn't give a damn about, and more crap like that. Say someone was directed to Splats2, and they didn't have Ad Block, and they wanted help. They get there, and there are advertisements, and a background about a show they don't know about. They went there to get help and tips, NOT to get informed about a stupid show. -Continued- Do you find this valuable? |

-Continued-Another perfect example: I watch over a Miley Cyrus fan site, and make sure everything's under control. Kids, under 13, join, or get on and look through the site. They go there to learn about Miley Cyrus/Hannah Monatana. (For those who don't know about her.) Others go on there to learn MORE about her. (For those who have a little knowledge about Miley Cyrus.) They DO NOT go on there to learn about a show their little minds don't know, and don't care to know about. Shows like that aren't for their little minds.They are too young to follow directions correctly on how to download Ad Blocker, and follow directions, so they have to look at that bull $hit. Use your brains Wetpaint! Wetpaint, This is the wiki platform! NOT the Entertainment Platform! This $hit belongs on the Wetpaint homepage, NOT here! Get that through your heads! It's not rocket science, ya know! If we wanted to know about premiers about shows, we could just watch TV and they announce it! -Clay Do you find this valuable? |

THANK YOU CLAY! <3I've recently made a wiki as of yesterday and that stupid ad is ridiculous. It aired yesterday at 9, so it stated...people it's WAY past 9 pm for August the 15. It's past midnight and I still see it. I want it gone. I'm trying to work here! -Stupefy Do you find this valuable? |
