sorry folks.. my computers security and well being is off limits.... to the whim of advertising networks and/or their negligence to police the safety of what they serve up to the unsuspecting sheep...

Good thing Voat doesn't use any of that crap.

It's just straight up images with links.

ok.. so the ad jpgs are hosted externally... and still contain links to external url's relative to the ad.... ya... i still aint disabling my adblocker and neither will 95% of tech savvy folks... there needs to be another way..

Wait what?

No the ad JPGs are hosted from voat.co same domain as this site not even a subdomain. For someone claiming to be tech savvy you sure suck ass at reading HTML. I think you may be being confused because the ad I pulled that from is for an image hosting service.

Yes they are links and they could go anywhere but that's true of all the other links on the site as well.

that wont get downvoted for being shit... again, no one tech savvy will disable their AB for any reason.. its been proven countless times doing so is stupid... direct your anger at the douchebags that have abused the system.
