These threads come up on a weekly basis and are never addressed by someone with the ability to do anything about it. Therefore, your best bet is to combat the issue yourself by installing Adblock Plus.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

THANK YOU!!! I was wondering how I could stop these ads from coming on. LOL I'm not computer literate by any means, so I'm not knowledgeable about plugins and anything of that sort. I'm going to install NOW!!

You didnt hear this from me but addblock plus solves your problem

Can't use that on my work computer though, and there isn't a mobile version either, as far as I know.

The mobile version of Firefox allows for add-ons so you can have AdBlock on your phone.

I updated my status without even seeing this thread (adblock was invented because of VGC). Although there have been multiple threads about annoying ads on this site in the past. I understand ioi wants ad revenue but there are better ways to go about doing it then loading your website with ads from top to bottom and having video ads playing constantly.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
