[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I’m on this site way way too much and would be happy to support it by clicking on ads (though due to job loss, I’m not buying anything lately) but there hasn’t been anything I’d want to click on for months, at least.

I don’t say this as a bitch at you, because I acknowledge that you do in fact need to make a living, but as sincere wonder: the ads used to be regular-follow-me-around-the-internet ads of things I have looked at. Does the site use fewer cookies than it used to or something like that?[/quote]

Both Safari and Firefox have implemented features to either block tracking by cookies or make it much less effective. You are probably using one of those browsers.

This is sort of an irony (one of which is true for me personally as well). Users don't like being tracked, but the result is that they get less relevant ads. I personally have some appreciation for ads that interest me, but the technology has not reached the point that it can read my mind. I don't like the tracking that, for instance, shows you a pair of shoes in every single ad after you look at that pair of shoes and decide you don't want it. But, if they show me a guitar that I want that has just gone on sale for 50% off, I'm all over it.

That makes sense.

And I agree - I love the ads that are helpful in the sense of remembering what I have looked at and like. [/quote]
