Ad’s are now topics?

[Mike in Roseville]

I just noticed a bunch of ads that are masquerading as threads on the app? Haven't gone through every single sub forum but they are pretty annoying. Says "sponsored" where the views/replies should be.

Also seeing ads after the very last post on every thread. It almost looks like a tagline/signature but changes with every refresh.

Anyone else seeing this on the WKC mobile app?

I see them too, Mike.  Always the 2nd "post" from the top.

Ok...well I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on it?

Yeah, I just noticed this too in the WKC mobile app. Garbage if you ask me. Can't I get away from ads ANY-FUCKING -WHERE???

I didn't even do a software update.

@Troy - can you clue us in?

I saw it weeks or months ago and I asked Troy.
It's a Necessary Evil that is needed to help generate money for the WKC to help cover costs!

The more we use these links.. the less we will need the adds !

There are no ads masquerading as content.
There haven't been recent changes.

Ad placement varies depending on you, your browsing habits, and ad inventory.

I've considered offering an ad-free experience for a yearly subscription fee.

@Troy

Thanks for chiming in. I use uBlock Origin on my personal computer, so I'm not seeing ads. I am specifically talking about the WKC mobile app.

My question moving forward is...why do the ads appear to have User Handles? Like Charlie said...second from the top on every sub forum.

[Troy]

I'd appreciate it if you set your adblock to allow ads on the WKC.

Ads pay the bills

I believe the ads in the mobile app are labeled with the advertiser name. I'd have to look into it more.

[Mike in Roseville]

Please let us know what you come up with.

@Troy

Are these app "thread" ads here to stay?

Yes, there are no planned changes to the ad implementation at this time.

[HoosierKettle]

I've seen them. They don't bother me at all. This app has exponentially less ads then any other site or app I use. The news apps annoy me most of all.
