With the ad adjustment came these banner ads on the top of comment sections and they are atrocious so much so I don’t bother reading comments anymore. They all have the obnoxious white backgrounds and they flicker since they move. It feels light no matter my phones britness they are blinding and since content doesnt get loads of comments the banner is just distracting while reading. I’m on board with ads as I haven’t paid to remove but this specific style changes how I’m using sync now.
Better at the bottom?
On sync for reddit I was annoyed by the permanent ad bar at the bottom of the screen, because it is where the android buttons (home, back, app overview) are and sometimes I would accidentally click an ad.
I actually really like the new placement.
Edit: also they don’t flicker for me at all (Fairphone 3). And the beta already has redgif support, so I don’t understand half of OPs complaints anyway. Darktheme matching would be really nice, but I have never heard of that being a thing supported by ads.
Better €10 to get rid of them. Anything above that is too much; I’m sure you’d get double the sales if you weren’t taking the piss
Then they would be there even if you scroll down into the comments. Not better IMO…
Yeah, I agree, the better would be bottom. Also, I’m guessing not, but it’s there any way of making them respect dark theme?
Better gone.
Then pay for them or learn to bypass them, you ungrateful pissant.
If you make more money at the top, leave it at the top. If you make more at the bottom, put it at the bottom.
Oh no, it’s way better like it is now.
Its too jarring in the middle for users of Dark Mode. I’ve used your app and paid for premium on reddit. I haven’t here because the price to value isn’t there compared to other options at its current price point. I’ve been using your lemmy app since it released but this ad change had me immediately switch.
Would be more bearable at the bottom the issue of how bright it is would still play a factor. I’ve been with you since day 1 of sync for reddit so I won’t be scared off I know you can only do so much. The price for premium is a touch more than I can pull together but maybe one day as I would love to support the development of the app!
Yeah, much better at the bottom. I suspect that this allows them to be loaded each time we load comment section (allowing you to be paid for your efforts), regardless of how long the comments section is?
