Default Toenails!!

I don’t have an adblocker on my phone. As a result I see ads. And banners. Okay I get it. APC needs to make money.

But is it really necessary to see infected toenails at the bottom of the page? Does anyone screen the ads?

Come on, man!

What are you googling to have THAT show up!? I've been shopping for area rugs and those are the ads I'm getting.

Have you been clipping your toenails on the flight deck?

It's mostly automated, and the ads seem tailored to your browsing history (true in my case at least).

There are some established guardrails, pretty sure that ads for porn won't show up on APC... even if the systems detects that you have an interest in that.

The forum mods have nothing to do with ad management BTW.

I’ve never in my life had toenail issues or searched the internet for same. The images are grotesque. Perhaps the owners of this site should vett the advertisers a bit better.
