I’m a paying member of AARP and yet when playing games on the site (daily crossword), I’m spammed with ads. This has sadly turned me away from using the site and I no longer partake in the crossword. Just curious if others have had a similar experience? Sure they need the revenue, but from paying members?
I used to just stop using sites and quietly disappear, but given I still subscribe to AARP, thought I’d mention it so they receive the feedback.
Maybe I’m the only one who is annoyed by all the ads for a paying member.
@Bberk,
It is easy to alleviate this problem.
Add AdBlockPlus to the browser you use to view AARP's content, including games.
AdBlockPlus is free and rids you of all the ads.
It is easy.
I say it is easy because I added it and I am as computer challenged as they come.
I also suggest it because I was getting all sorts of ads on AARP'S web site at the time which was several years ago. I was getting ads AARP approved but also, I believe their games platform had been hacked. I say this because I was getting weird ads from India, ads from PETA showing dead animals, and even home made ads from independent sources. I was only getting these weird ads at AARP'S website.
At the same time, I was also getting IMPOSSIBLE SCORES posted to the games platform. I play 5ROLL, it has a limited number of points that you can possibly score as it is patterned after Yahtzee. People were posting scores in the hundreds of thousands which was IMPOSSIBLE. AARP addressed the IMPOSSIBLE SCORES issue after months and months of complaining.
But the AdBlockPLUS took care of the ads ever since.
