I was excited to find mixdrop for exactly 5 mins.
Even with the most minimum setting for ads.... Which it claims is only going to be 2.
I got flooded with more than a dozen
I'm just using adblock addon
Same here.
I believe TPB itself is filled with ads, the click here banners are everywhere, but I guess it's what keeps the site afloat.
The best example would be to set optional ads whereupon the user unbans the ads, but the ads are not intrusive at all. Case in point, Linux Mint's site.
EDIT: Sorry, I erred. I could have sworn that I saw ads. Well, then they have sponsors. That's exemplary attitude! I know you may not approve, but what the hell, if I have to be called imperfect, so be it.
