DU is getting really busy with the ads
No objections. I know DU needs to pay the bills but I notice the ads are very animated these days...flying across the screen, flicking in and out.

1. I donated to help keep the site running, so I don't know what you're talking about.

6. I had no idea DU was a two tiered world. Now I know why people give stars as gift to others.

19. It would be nice to remember that.
Either that, or just ban us poor folk upfront, since we don't seem to count for much anyway.

18. Use adblocker with the firefox web browser.
There's no reason to see ads on any web site if you don't want to. And donate to DU anyway. Seriously, there's so much money in internet advertising that I'm waiting for ad-blockers to be outlawed.

20. So how do the "socialists" on DU feel about paying vs not and then ads vs not.
Seems like they would only want to support DU if it were the same for everyone regardless of financial ability.

It just doesn't work under our system.
