I don't see any ads on dpreview. After reading this I went looking for ads because I was there earlier and didn't remember seeing ads.I don't have any blockers or extensions installed but I can not see any ads. not one anywhere on the site.. Is this a prank or Twilight zone ?

You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone !
Doo-do doo-do doo-do doo-do…

Well,-hopefully I will never have to use my wife's windows computer again. ha ha

I can see them too. The ads weren't locally targeted ads as I thought. It was my browser (built on older gecko version) that didn't support whatever trickery they use. Switched to FF and I can see the ads.

I don't use Edge enough to install uBlock (have uBlock in Firefox, which I like better).
Do you use and like the b on upper right, with access to ChatGPT? I guess it's easier than signing into OpenAI. Results seems similar.

Android + Chrome = HUGE ads on DPR, filling an entire screen space! Ads by Criteo, Ad Choice, Google. No extensions on Android Chrome, unless install some (hopefully working) app (which has ads) from the store. Reminds me of Blondie's song "One Way Or Another". However, I installed a new-ish browser called Mask Browser that can use most Chrome extensions, installed AdBlock, and no more ads on DPR.
Android + FireFox or Opera Touch = no ads
Of course, no ads on any home PC or laptops with either Linux or Windows + Chrome or FireFox

I think its pretty interesting hearing people complaining about DPR going down only to learn that many of these people were cutting off an important part of their revenue stream.
I don't know how else Gear Patrol might be gaining revenue from DPR, but I leave ads on so the they forum stays open.

Problem is, ads are an attack vector that is not hard to shut down.
It's irresponsible to allow ads on a system you control, because your machine could become an attack vector.

IMHO ads are a lazy substitute for writing content.
-
Are people paying for that content?
-
Yes, while buying reviewed products.
-
But the revenue from purchases of reviewed products might not be enough to cover the running costs.
The ads are easy enough to ignore and skip over so no big deal for me.

I'm starting to see Amazon ads again.

all Im seeing is womens clothing and make-up , so much for AI getting it so wrong just because i shoot Dance schools and follow ballet schools and my pinterest membership is full of dance images.,
this is total lack of equality at work 😂😂😎🤨 IM going to complain to the media organizations for a 1 mill $ storey deal 😎 -
I did look at some product reviews as Iliah pointed out, and they do still have the buy it at Amazon links. Since it is now owned by Gear Patrol, are they merely affiliate links now? If so, that doesn't pay a lot.

Ad Block Plus is your friend. I see none of these ads.
