Removal of Google Ads?
Is there any way that the google ads can be removed? Page adds are so annoying! If I pay for a subscription, will they be removed?
Thanks,
Thanks,

I don't see any ads (Google, or from anyone else) here on RCU. That is because my browser (Brave - https://brave.com/ ) automatically blocks ads. Some browsers, like Firefox, require the addition of extensions (like AdBlock etc.), and they do a good job of blocking ads.
That's a good statement above, about Google colonoscopies. I have always said that I despise mosquitos, fleas, ticks, leeches, hookworms and tapeworms for the exact same reason that I despise Google. And that's just one side of Google that I despise. Google has another side to it that I despise even worse than its crawl-up-your-butt-and-get-its-little-fingers-into-every-little-aspect-of-your-life side.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing ads for model-related stuff. But I know they probably don't get enough revenue from just that, especially considering what has/is happened/happening to this industry, and they probably must take every opportunity that they can get.
If this thread had been about just about any vendor other than Google, I probably wouldn't have even replied with the work-around that I use. I guess Google triggers me, almost to the point where I become a Karen.

As I've said many times, ask yourself how a company whose original product was a FREE search engine got to be so big, so fast. And now they have over 90% of the internet sear market.
