Anybody else getting annoyed with the Meet Your Meat ad that
keeps appearing on every page? I quit reading a different web site because the same ad is a permanent fixture there.

3. Donate and you can make ads disappear
Quite easy and it doesn't take much money at all.

5. I have my preference set to "no" and they are still there.

I've seen it and it really isn't that much of a problem. The one ad with a pig laying on its side looking like it was about to get kicked was a bit much though.

12. Did you save the settings after you clicked NO?
:shrug:

I still see ads on my journal page but I don't see ads anywhere other than
the Homepage and I'm not even sure if I see them there, as I rarely go there.

Thanks.

6. I donated $5.00 , so I don't see any ads.
They have to pay the bills somehow and DU needs a newer and bigger server.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

7. It doesn't keep appearing on every page, does it?
Just the Home page, right?
Anyway, you aren't the first to be annoyed. I somehow have an easy time ignoring it.
I considered watching it, but I figured I've seen enough of cruel/gross slaughterhouse images to last a while.

8. As the Buddha would say...
You can only become annoyed if you are annoyable.

Take a deep breath. Relax. Meditate. Inoculate yourself against the sickness that is annoyability.

10. Yes. It reminds of a skinned penis or something.
It is annoying, though I don't mind the cause.

15. I hate it
I do.

BTW - you can try to get rid of the ads but only Google Ads go away - Not the paid for by someone else ads....

I do not want to see my food being chopped up with a threat or a dare to watch it.

I am in denial.

I like it that way....


:cry:

17. Ok, I made a donation. I agree, I support the cause, but I don't want to
look at it every time I log on. If it doesn't go away I'll use my Buddha mojo.

Thanks everybody.

18. I think I'm going to click it.
See what these folks have to tell me that I don't already know in the back of my mind.

19. Alright, so I watched it. No, it wasn't pleasant.
It's good to at least know what kind of "work" goes into food. It's something to think on.
