Posted this here so it's clear why I am pulling back. Posting complaints in the "correct" section just gets ignored anyway.

When the greed of IB gets to the point where I can no longer see more than a single line of posted content, I think its time I re-evaluate my desire to contribute here. The new ad row at the bottom is just too much.

The full screen popups were bad enough but at least they were not constant like this new BS at the bottom seems to be. It's all very disappointing, but not surprising of the "social media world" whose entire game is about bleeding people slowly with ever increasing ads and less actual value. Give me space to enjoy contributing and I will. But I am not coming here to fill IB's pockets while I get nothing but frustration.

Sad thing is, I doubt that IB even cares. That is what it feels like at this point to me. I just can't continue to feed this beast that seems to be more comfortable working against our best interests than providing a valuable service. Hoping things change for the better and I see a reason to get more involved again. I am all out of reasons at this point.

 

Hate to see you go! You made many good posts over the years and I was glad to read them.

I do want to ask about the popups? I get none of that? Could a popup blocker fix it? I run uBlock Origin.

I only have a small bit of advertising at the very bottom of the page. Regardless if I am posting or reading a thread.
That's it so not real intrusive or annoying either.

It appears to work for me!
