They are based on an algorithm that tracks words on DU. Buy a star, support DU, and you'll
never see an ad again.

It will get worse. Both sides are amped up right now and advertisers want clicks. Clicking "ad is inappropriate" just makes it worse. You pay what you can. Sort of a free will offering. It is so nice. I finally bit the bullet this morning. I had the same issue. This advertising model is one of the big problems with our society right now.
