I’m an unlimited member – I think good content is worth paying for.
But I’m starting to get seriously annoyed at the ads. I was just trying to read a forum question and I literally couldn’t do it. There’s this stupid video playing in a loop on the right of the screen, making it impossible for me to concentrate. No way to hide it, no way to pause it.
I understand that these kinds of ads are required when the content is ad-sponsored, but 100$ a year isn’t cheap, and I feel I paid enough to excuse myself from watching ads.
Ads in the magazine are ok, but the nagging videos that can’t be dismissed are over the top. Will you please get rid of them from the website(s) for unlimited members who are logged in?
Thanks.

I just want them to nuke giant banner asking me to become a member when I am already a member.
I'd assume the unlimited sub doesn't cover the cost of delivering the site, so ad support is still necessary to stay afloat. Maybe they could offer a premium tier that is ad-free? The ways ads work, FH can only control the nature of the ads, but not the ads themselves. Unfortunately there are advertisers that make terrible ads.
