I'm wondering, where did the ads on escapist videos come from? I would normally think this is a great thing that i haven't had watching videos back to back become irritating because of the same ad every damn time, but it worries me...

Has the escapist lost it's income? did they just change the way they are using advertising? (have noticed more banners i think?)

Really don't want to see this sight go down the gurgler due to financial problems, so if anyone has answers on this would be good...

Another possibility.. my pc just decided it doesn't like ads anymore?

Why would there be less ads if they needed money?
Maybe due to Christmas break or something a lot more people registered to pubclub so they don't need the extra funding from ads (then again money is always nice), that or something sinister is afoot... CONSPIRACY CONSPIRACY!

I think he meant the site might be in financial problems because they aren't able to find anyone who wants to advertise.

OT: I'm in the PubClub so I don't see the ads anyway, so I can't really say if there are more or less atm. But the site did get bought by a different company a few months back, maybe they've changed something about the way they advertise?

Exactly what i meant... and no, no third party ad-block software installed or any other such things. I used to.. and even went into operational windows files to block ad ip's from ever being recognised on my pc. Unfortunately that had some... side effects. So i got rid of it.

Anyone else noticed the ads gone? or has my pc become a master of all interwebs?
