Haven't seen ads for years--I'd assumed totally because of the commitment to us heavier duty, better posters in terms of quantity and quality
It also just seems --crass --mercinary --cheap --insensitive --trashy --like a renigging on a commitment supposedly among mutually respectful friends. - See more at: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Domo I had the same, I use a S4 so my screen is pretty big, so my solution was go to your profile settings and disable mobile ATS. When your on your phone you get the same site as here on your desktop.
Saves a lot of agony.
And honestly the mobile ATS sucks big time, with newer smartphones the regular sites are perfectly accessible.
Edit: What's even worse is that ATS can generate enough revenue by the page hits alone, all these ad's are just greed imo.
So you’ve got a blog, or an inclination to start one – how many hits do you need to make money on it, and how much can you make? Here are some rough figures to go by. I’m no google genius, in fact I’m pretty horrible with computers but I do blog full time, I run a number of sites and it’s my full-time income even though I don’t have to work ‘full-time’:
making money from your blog
Now I’m sure these figures can be disputed but they give you an idea about what page rank you require, and how many unique monthly visitors you need to generate a certain amount of cash (through ads etc). So if you wanna make $50k USD per year, then you need a site with a Page Rank of 4 and with around 50,000 unique visitors per month, not that difficult and certainly achievable within a year.

Websites also get money from traffic.
I found this, take this with a pinch of salt, since I don't know how reliable this is.

So yeah, I do think ATS could lose some add's and still make some nice money, which they have every right to btw.
