What's up with the Charlie Kirk memorial coin ad?

[Redleg]

I guess ya gotta pay the bills.

1. Ads go away with your paid membership. DU can't control the advertising you see.

But you can!

[Redleg]

2. An excellent point!

I had no idea that they couldn't limit the types of ads. Whodathunk?

5. Since you decide how much it costs, it's always worth it!

I really enjoy all the paid features of DU. And I’ll be honest, ads would drive me NUTZ!

3. Or use a VPN.

Which you should be using regardless.

11. I normally have my VPN turned on

It must have stopped. Anyway, the complaint wasn't intended as criticism of DU. I just wanted to register my surprise.

4. Pay a dollar or two for a star membership and all ads will magically vanish.

Also, this is the link to the Help Forum for these types of inquiries. ❤️

In Demagogues We Trust

7. Ads are not site specific. All ads are done on ad networks

[Redleg]

10. I didn't realize that

Forgive my ignorance.

for a Charlie Kirk PEZ dispenser.

Now that would be something.
