Help Cell phone, tablet infomercials?

KBU2 · Dec 3, 2018

I noticed something when I'm lounging around in Android forums, I rarely see cell phones or tablet infomercials. Is it just me that feels that a site such as this should be a Hub for the many Android products out there? And to consider, the thousands of hits this site gets daily, I think this forum is the perfect place for cell phone and tablet manufacturers to push their products and have infomercials available for those products. I gratefully respect and understand this is a forum where people come and share their experiences about different products, preferably Android and ask or post questions about problems or issues they're having with their Android devices. But in hindsight I also feel that there should be tons of information connected to each Android product that's displayed in this forum with, deals and etc connected with it if any were available, especially around holidays and Christmas? :thinking:

Merry Christmas Everyone and Happy New Years......

Less is more.....
I believe there's too much headache involved with each advertising /sponsor for a free forum such as this.

I get your point but I really wouldn't mind taking a few aspirin to make a few extra hundred thousand dollars I bet

Some people feel strongly enough about it to subscribe to Android Forums and in return receive absolutely no advertising.

I don't know how the advertising algorithms are set up with regard to cell phone/tablet ads.
If you want, you can go ad-free

Are you interested in cell phone/tablet manufacturers joining as members and then pushing their products? If so, I don't think we'd support that, it's just an invite for spam. :eek:

See this:

Affiliate Links, Surveys, etc: Do not use Android Forums as an advertisement medium or source of clicks for affiliation programs of any type.

Oh I know, I'm not knocking your idea

I understand where you're coming from.
Like I said, I don't know what determines what types of ads are shown here. Akin to seeing ads over at the XDA site where it seems like I see ads for stuff I searched on the internet for

No thank you.

See the banner under my name … VIP Members don't see ANY advertising on Android Forums.

I also don't see any adverts on this forum using Chrome, combined with Adguard.
Not yet vip....
Personally, as I stated earlier, less is more... Nuff said.

Nope never noticed it may be because the ads are blocking it.
