Why is Charlie Kirk BS on the top of DU?

[VicNEO]

Why is it when I open DU I see this???!!??

I can’t paste nor link.
But it’s a pro Charlie Kirk Link. ???

[Ocelot II]

1. No idea, I don't see it.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. What are you talking about?

I don't see anything about Charlie Kirk except a few threads, otherwise, bupkus.

[stopdiggin]

3. I don't see anything even close ...

Wondering if your browser isn't loading some crappy advertisement? No indication of anything like this on the DU I'm looking at all evening.

16. You're a Star member, so you don't see ads when you're logged in. Log out and wait a little bit, and

the ads will appear.

[stopdiggin]

18. thanks. shoulda' clued to that myself ... (and quite happy with my membership !) -(nt)-

[Historic NY]

4. Because you aren't a star member and get these ads.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

6. I let my star expire and I still don't see any ads,

so I have no idea what the OP is seeing.

[highplainsdem]

10. Are you using an ad blocker?

[MarineCombatEngineer]

11. Not as far as I know,

but I do use Nord VPN, so maybe that's why I'm not seeing ads.

[highplainsdem]

13. You probably enabled this feature:

[MarineCombatEngineer]

15. Yep, I just checked and my ad and tracker blocker is on, so I guess that's why I don't see any ads.

Thanks for the info.

5. Because you aren't a Star Member and ads are beyond control of DU. A donation is not much, and the ads

are a good alternative for others. I have gone with ads when money was tight.

[Quiet Em]

7. I get ads for guitars, because I'm always looking at guitars online

Maybe you are seeing CK BS based on your internet searches?

I'm not seeing any CK crap.

8. I don't see it either but maybe you were being served an ad?

Granted I don’t know how the ads work on DU but I do know many sites don’t have any knowledge or control over the ads that appear on them. Which can go about as well as you can imagine.

9. no screenshot?

but you'd still have to post it onto an aggregator-type site first, like Imgur, then copy the correct link and post that here. Seems like there should be an easier way.

You will get ads unless you pay something, then ads go away.

Don't know who controls what ads non-subscribers will see.

[Celerity]

17. you do not have to go through all that to post a screenshot on DU

just use Gyazo and post the screenshot via right clicking on the snapshot it yields and then 'copy image address' and post that URL

it is free

example:

[RussBLib]

20. Haven't heard of that one. Thanks.

...but it sounds like similar steps.

[Celerity]

21. No, as you do not need to use an image uploading site, plus you can customise the size and content of the snapshot

[Hekate]

12. What the rest of us see is not Kirk, but that you are not a Star member. Become one & all ads will disappear.

That’s how it works.

[tblue37]

14. Spend $10.00 and become a star member. Voila!--no more ads.

[Kaleva]

19. Signed out, I got ads for Hardee's Tender Bender Tuesdays

[Torchlight]

22. I saw a dogfood ad on television last night. I feel your pain.

[themaguffin]

23. If you are referring to an ad, ads appear via ad networks. Few sites (if any) locally sell ads directly anymore
