Suta, you mentioned a very good point. Ads are essential to sustain the website.Originally posted by: Sutapasima
Removing the Ad blocker will remove the warning at the bottom .
Every Ad has an option for closing it. It's a personal choice .
Ads are essential to sustain the website, and it's a common feature of all websites that are self-sustained .
Those which don't have ads are paid sites.We hope you will help us in making IF self-sustained.
Take care 😊
We, the India Forum members, are in a way a pampered lot. Getting everything for free, a stage to share our opinions, a speaker system to express our views, a canopy to host friendly relationships, in total, an important part of millions of members' lives.
Recently, IF started adding Ads, though it is a much--needed addition, but surprised many.
We are all going through very difficult times, each and every industry is suffering financial losses, the situation is scary. For sustainability, there is only one option, that is innovation, to survive in such difficult situation one has to move forward with a few changes and remodeling.
A few of us started feeling a bit of inconvenience because of these ads in between the posts, in a way, feeling like obstacles for their daily routine. Which is understandable.
This IF is a 'free for all' site, which is improvising itself very often for our benefit, for our comfort, and for our smooth sailing.
Every expansion of the IF site needs some funding, for that, the Ads are necessary.
In fact, all other websites, media and daily papers are using the ads in every available space to generate income for their sustenance. There won't be any facility to block the Ads. It is a utility chain now, to carry forward this India Forums to future generations.
The Fan Fic ad and the regional language serial info are easily available because of these ads. I like this feature.
