My only problem is that I was not aware of this (maybe I didn't saw where it was said that we would be forced to see adverts), and I thought that I had commented about this in a previous post and it was said that it was not supposed to happen.

If I knew from the start that this would be the case I wouldn't had uploaded any of my videos to the ATS Media Portal.

PS: Unfortunately, I can not find the post that I mention above and the answer to it, it's difficult to find a specific post in the huge ATS universe.

Edit:
I found my post, here, and I was wrong, I never got an official answer for it, it was just ignored.

Not "ignored," just not noticed. Do you really expect that I can read every post?


Likewise, did you not notice the clear mention of ads and ad-revenue sharing here and here?

Do you really expect a world-class online video delivery system (that is expensive to operate) to be free of ads?

OK, sorry for the "ignored", I was making assumptions.

And yes, I noticed it, but nowhere did it said that they would be video ads before we could see the videos posted, and the reference to Google AdSense ads made me think of common ads, not that type of ad that makes us watch it if we want to see the real video.

And no, I was not expecting it to be ad-free, but I was not expecting this type of ads either.

Situation cleared, thanks.

I find This one particularly annoying.

Is Working Online At Home The Way to Financial Freedom?

As part of our ongoing series: "Jobs and the Recession: What you need to know" we examine an industry that, despite the recession, seems to be booming Working At Home Many websites highlight people making up to $500 per day working online from home on their computer.

Are online jobs the next big thing? As the U.S. economy continues to free-fall, millions of American are finding themselves without jobs, sufficient retirement or paychecks coming in. In March alone the number of unemployed increased by 694,000 to 13.2 million. Throughout history those on the cutting edge have adapted and prospered by knowing how to adapt to current economic climates, and this trend may once again be taking place on the internet.


It look Legits and even grabs your hometown from your IP address to customise it for you. Surely such a blatant scam(and it IS) shouldn't be allowed on ATS, it might even tempt someone with money problems... or someone that is not too net savvy.

I just came on to this thread to complain about that one. It's the soppy expression on her face that irritates me.

Also, the ad about the movie that drops down. I wasn't fast enough (or too fast) one day and ended up going to the Amazon site instead of wherever it was I wanted to go on this forum.

It appears then that what we have here is a community of people who are free(ish) to speak about anything (obviously some subjects or the way we talk about them are banned and/or will get us into trouble up to the point of being removed from the community).

There is a certain heirachy of people in charge who are able to decide on how the community should be run, can even change the structure and appearence of the community but apparantly have no control over the commercial sector and allow us to be influenced by advertisements and commercial pressures.

Advertisements are in a similar catagory to religions and conspiracy stories, they are all used for dissinformation and control and are part of the new understanding we have about memes and how we are influenced to act by them en.wikipedia.org...

We are assured that everything is done in the interest of the community however and that our opinions do actually count.

Obviously i am talking about our country here, our government and the big business that has a lot of say in, and control of, our day to day lives. Rules, keeping the money flowing and keeping the citizens in check whilst assuring them they are being looked after, are effective ways of keeping the status quo and fulfilling the plans of the those in charge.

This is one reason that we all escape here to ATS, to discuss these things and how they effect everyone.
