Dear DTOID
I am sad. I've been lurking around here for as long as I can remember. This is/was my favourite gaming news site and now I'm soon forced to leave and never come back. Why? The goddamned advertisment whoring business going on lately. I don't own a car, I don't want to own one and especially not a bloody Chrystler. I curse your name out loud everytime I click a dtoid video link, instantly regretting my mistake. I don't want to sit through the chrystler ad (which is unstoppable once it's started by the way) every fucking time. Now, this alone has gotten me to force myself to read Kotaku instead, even though I don't fancy their layout nor their lack of humour. Still, I check back here, from time to time, just being super careful not to click any of the infernal videos.
Cue dimming out the entire window, displaying the most ass-awful piece of advertisment ever. It takes over the entire screen and shows some emo kid with wings or something, flashing fancy animations in my sore pre-morning-coffee eyes. I instantly swoop my cursor all over the place, looking for a way to bring swift deadly vengeance upon this creature, to no avail. I have to sit through the whole thing in slow-mo snail speed before a tiny "x" appears in the upper right corner.
I don't have any pretence of thinking I'll be missed but this was the last drop. Fuck you and good bye, nice knowing you.

Seriously though, does the guy watch the videos every minute of the day? And the other adverts can be blocked.
That said I don't pay the bills so I can't really complain. But seriously if you have a viable means of mobile browsing I find it far less annoying and cluttered with the same content sans videos.

Suck my lobster milkshake.
I'll take the ads.
You should learn your basics in Internet commerce.
also , we won't miss you.
It's a matter of worth buddy. For some people (I'd reckon most of us) the price of clutter-y ads is worth the content.
Not that it neccesarily justifies a public damning of the entire site but it's not like he's wholly wrong here. The site is very cluttered. Aesthetically it's quite pleasing but the ads make it an eyesore. If they were a bit more tastefully done or if the site had a layout that made it more ad friendly it couldn't hurt.
But again I don't pay the bills and I ain't leavin' so it's just the way it is I guess. I know we all love the site and all but objectively he makes a valid point.
I don't know what else to tell you.
