    We pay our ISP too, then we pay for a web host, then we pay for the software, we pay for the hardware, we pay to the security, we also pay for the traffic because your visit to our site is not free since we pay for your bandwidth which you use, and if net neutrality comes to an end, we'll be paying your ISP too just to allow you that access to our site. And if we did not do any of that, you would have nowhere to visit. Your entitled mentality does not reflect the reality of life, though I wish everything were free too as I too would love a free lunch.

    It is not a question of having a paid or free website, many folks would prefer to have their site freely accessible to the public. MDL it would seem is a prime example of that. It is merely a desire to offset some of the cost and finding an acceptable balance which allows that to happen.

    Yea well, you chose to invoke all those costs when you decided to create a site, not our problem

    As I said, without your free members your site would be nothing at all so we are already invaluable to you, I pay for internet access, I'm not paying again for website access in any form, be it ads, mining or subscriptions

    End of dumb conversation

    Sometimes a good answer is worth repeating.
    This is a long debate which has been going on forever on The Internet.

    Folks who start up websites obviously have the funds to be running a website, but there is no shame or harm in wanting to offset the balance. Especially if your website becomes super popular and your monthly cost reaches €5,000 per month (€60,000.00 per year). Then you have the entitled users who believe everything should be free and by their mentality, only the wealthy could ever hope to run a popular website. :rolleyes:

    It really does go both ways! -- If it were not for the users, no site would be popular, but it were not for someone paying the dues, no user would have anywhere to visit.

    I've alway's used Adblock Plus but so far it's not going to be supported by Firefox 57. I'll try Origin U Block and disable Adblock Plus to try it out, But Adblock Plus has alway's been ok by me

    uBlock Origin is nice to use.. Already blocked 3rd frames on all sites and block pop ups and enabled prevent webrtc from leaking your ip but does anybody knows good or better filters/options to create, enable for better surfing in the web i use the default filters that is re-selected by the developers from ublock origin.. Cheers Brent!

    Never download from somewhere.:eek: Always use the official download site. Easy to determine with a little effort.

    you are all very funny. it was the first days of its appearence. there a was review of it in a known tech news site. it was my fault that i had trusted them and clicked "click here" to install. and i am pretty sure that it was a github page :D

    also no porn was displayed. it was just adding links.
