Audiogon has gone too far, too fast with the ads!!!

It's so true!!!!  There seems to have been a new standard operational procedure implemented across all mass media, TV, radio, and the internet, that has substantially increased the volume of commercials and pop-ups wherever you turn.  There's no escaping it!!!  I had been a 40 year listener to AM radio, but recently stopped listening to it because, now, you get more aggravating commercials than normal radio programing, and the commercials themselves are some of the worst IMHO.  Happy listening.         

I certainly despise adds so much, i will ban from my view any increase of  pop up...

But i see no adds at all on audiogon from my desktop...

Others see them i cannot but recommend ads blocker...

 For audiogon marketing i trust your advice more than mine. I never had been good  about publicity and marketing ...

My 2 cent was only about the fact that it will not be good politic to increase pression on the crowd which did not buy or sell on audiogon...

I will read your ideas about marketing with interest  if you had some though ...

Mahgister, thank you, the two sides do seem to be discrete. How would you monetize the site? Do you think that increasing pop ups is the best strategy for the owners of the site to increase revenue?

Try public radio. Very few ads, and they're not really ads anyway. Pretty low-key. 

You don't have to listen to NPR if that's not your thing. For example, around here we have two great jazz and classical stations that are both public. They're ad-free.

Zero ads here. Zero ads Youtube. If you use lousy browsers you get lousy results.
