minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up30arrow-down2·23 hours agoHe’s using Boost, so it’s his own fault. It’s just your standard ad network crap.
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·edit-220 hours agoI’m using boost, I’ve not got any ads? Looking trough the settings, there’s no way to turn ads off or on, and no payment for them. Just a voluntary donate button.
minus-squareRedjard@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 hours agoDo you have dns-based adblock? That reliably stops boost from fetching and displaying those.
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 hour agoI use cloudlfare dns, those dns blockers break some websites
minus-squarewinkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·edit-222 hours agoDid you pay for it? Or it could be regional
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·21 hours agoI don’t know, how can I check?
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·20 hours agoLooks like there’s no option to pay to remove ads, just a donation button.
minus-squarewinkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·19 hours agoI believe there’s a donation button after paying for it. If you didn’t pay for boost then there are ads inter-stitched.
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·16 hours agoThen I must’ve paid, thanks for figuring that out!
minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down4·23 hours agoI don’t understand why people use apps instead of web interface… That the apps serve ads makes it even more confusing
minus-squareHanrahan@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 hours agoJerboa, Raccoon etc dont do ads(get them.from F sroid) . Boost does if you don’t buy it.
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down2·23 hours agoBecause the web ui sucks, imo
minus-squareccunning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down1·22 hours ago“Sucks” is generous. Maybe it’s passable on desktop? Also there are apps without ads. In fact I didn’t know there were apps with ads before this post.
minus-squaremomocchi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·21 hours agoI use an app (Voyager) and have no ads, they just chose one with ads for some reason
minus-squareAphelion@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·17 hours agoOnly Boost and Sync have added ads. There are much better FOSS Lemmy clients like Voyager, that are ad-free and have a much better interface than web.
minus-squareTHCDenton@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·23 hours agoIm just used to it from reddit. Its comfy
minus-squareAphelion@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·edit-217 hours agoI used Boost back in the Reddit days, but when I came over to Lemmy I found there were much better ad-free apps, like Voyager.
minus-squarejasep@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·22 hours agoIf you’re interested in trying an app with no ads, I’m using Thunder and it’s great. Cross platform for Android and iOS.
minus-squarePlantJam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·20 hours agoThe ad free upgrade for boost is only a few dollars. I don’t remember if it’s done through the app or the play store, though.
minus-squareTHCDenton@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·16 hours agoI might. Ads are pretty unintrusive on lemmy, but these caught my eye
