Why is there a pro-dt ad on du?

[Upthevibe]

What the heck?

[CurtEastPoint]

1. DU does not get to pick the ads that appear. If it is annoying look away or be a STAR member.

No ads then.

2. DU has ads?

Who knew?

[Kali]

3. because we talk about him here and that is how ad placement algorithms work

it also costs them money to be here, click on them and they have to pay even more

donate and get rid of all ads! https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=star

4. See the little star next to my DU moniker? If you contribute you won't see ads.

Otherwise, anyone can buy ads on DU. They are not selected by the site.

5. I would think they are just wasting their money anyway. nt

6. Click on one...

-

Google is in control of those ads, and they charge the trumpet for each click.

I clicked on as many as I could and had fun screwing with their heads, especially if they have a comment section.

"VOTE ByeDON & Harris in 2020"

Of course, if you're afraid, I wouldn't blame you.

7. It's intentional, to encourage people to contribute to the site...

by buying a star membership so you don't see any ads.



Yes, that was me being :sarcastic:

8. Wherever I go on the internet, I encounter tons of Trump ads or questionnaires.

It's kind of disturbing. I don't think they will change anyone's mind, but the fact that they are so ubiquitous really bothers me. These fuckers are EVERYWHERE! I hate them!

10. if you click on it, Trump's advertisers send money to DU

might be worth doing if you can't afford the star membership
