Hello everyone,
Is it me or everyone seeing too many ads on TE. Plus earlier it was only static ads (pic/poster) however now includes video ads as well. I've attached the screenshot.

Ads are fine, make them a bit discreet? The new ones are bit intrusive and often make us think we have reached the end of a thread.
 
Does Google pay for the Ads shown even when one doesn't click on any?
Yes and No. Payouts are per impressions based on type of ads (finance, fashion pay more usually) and clickthrough rate for that category. So not clicking reduces the payout rate but the payout isn't calculated on per click.

Is this TE or MSN/Speedtestdotnet?
Well, it's 2024 and everyone should have a DNS based ad-blocker.
But I think it's better that everyone doesn't have it because then companies would find better ways to bypass that like youtube which delivers ads through same domains as content.

Easy way is to use uBlock origin on browser.
 
Had whitelisted TE because there were only 1-2 banner ads and wanted to support the forum. I guess time to remove from whitelist!
I had whitelisted for same reasons. But I have yet to see any ads at all on this website.

C'mon TE shoot up those sweet succulent ads straight up my optics. I wanted you to.
 
Same here I don't use adblock and ads seems reasonable to me...

Guys if too many ads try clicking the X button on the ad to remove it and Google maybe learns to reduce the ads they show you.
