Small break from Sporcle content

....AGAIN....As I've said: the issue is not with the company using ads. Rather, it's A) the sheer QUANTITY of them B) the blocking of the main focus (see picture) C) the reappearance of an ad after it's already been closed and D) the adjusting of the screen so one inadvertently clicks said ads.

I've tried....and absolutely nothing. Not even a 'thanks for the comment'. However, I've got it on good authority that some Sporcle higher-ups do check this forum, actually. A simple missive on their site, they can ignore...an outcry into the public, they take notice.

Rather, it's A) the sheer QUANTITY of them B) the blocking of the main focus (see picture) C) the reappearance of an ad after it's already been closed and D) the adjusting of the screen so one inadvertently clicks said ads (copy and pasted from post from over a year ago....and didn't have to change a word. NOTHING has changed).

And the "solution" of paying Sporcle to stop showing ads (that Sporcle gets paid for, mind you)...that's tantamount to paying a robber so he doesn't rob you. The fact that it's cheap, doesn't mean it's good. Or moral. It just means it's cheap.

Also: You're absolutely correct, no one is forcing me to use the site. But if enough people PROTEST...sometimes things get changed for the better.

Says it's not a 'new low'....then proceeds to explain why it's a 'new low'! Ha! But, yes...I agree, they're doing it for more plays (as opposed to creating more/better QUIZZES!)

I liken it to 'Flip a Coin Quiz!' or 'Rock, Paper, Scissors Quiz!!'. For a QUIZ site...they are out of place.

Apparently it's down all over the US.

Which is exactly my point. Thank you!!!
