JFerio Wrote:(And I can understand why they do it. The odds of a link getting clicked are likely way higher, and they think it looks like they're being good by providing the links to the readers, and it gets around more than 90% of the adblockers out there. But this also shows, in a site that does free boards, how much we users are just considered product to sell to advertisers anymore.)If they want to earn money from my efforts, then they can bloody well pay me for my efforts. I have a short list of who I choose to give volunteer time to, and yuku isn't on that list.
