TitansGuru Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Welp, they're back. That's actually a good sign since it means it wasn't a hack. Now I just need to disable ads until I figure out which one is responsible for that crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansGuru Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I made a change that I think will disable them. It's still spinning on the Adsense site so it might not have gone through yet. It took me a full ten minutes for that page to even load to disable the auto-ads feature. It either has been on for a while and it just started that obnoxious sticky ad or was automatically enabled since it wasn't a change that I made recently.

I just tried right now and I'm still getting the ads. FWIW, there is definitely some kind of geo tracking or personalization involved, as I'm getting ads for a local furniture store.

It is when you click them but I don't want anything all up in the way and as a registered user you should barely see any ads. Trump2020 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disabled auto-ad placement (which I don't think I ever enabled) but it takes time for the ads to update. If that fixes it, it should be good in a little bit.

Also, to anyone logged out or without an account, reach out to me if you are seeing an ad like what is shown in the second post. I don't want that intrusive of an ad to show up for anyone. Yep, stil there. I've read your other posts so I'll keep refreshing periodically to see if the change has gone through. Idk why marketers think this kind of thing makes people more likely to give a damn about whatever product is getting sold in the ad, but what it does for me is make me want to shove a pissed off, rabid cat up their buttholes and just have it go to town.

NashvilleNinja Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I mean, I know ads are a neccessary evil but wtf do they have to be so much more evil than necessary? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 If I can ever get it to load, I am just going to remove any ad code until tomorrow to give it time to update. I know it's annoying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I think it might be good now. Removed the footer ad code since it was the newest one and I suspect it would be the one with the new stuff in it to allow for that awful placement.

pat Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Now it seems to be sticking. Cache invalidation is supposed to be easy, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansGuru Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 On a side note, today actually earned double what last Monday made. Of course we are talking scales of a few dollars, but Google was doing their job in a way, that way being the most annoying possible way. Could have just been those mercy clicks Jake made, though.
