It'll be just like GOT

I'll ditch them in a shot if ads increase. Only if people vote with their (metaphorical feet) will such rubbish be ditched. Of course there are enough stupids on the planet to go along with any exploitative scheme for it to succeed. Look at sky ffs.

Remember when the Internet had zero ads and still worked? I do.

Aah the good old days when you could sit on MSN as a 16 year old believing the 16 year old girl you're chatting to was really a hot girl interested in a bit of fun instead of a 22 stone 45 year old van man from Newton Le Willows.

Ad's do my head in not because of them being adverts but because it seems I only have to think of something an instagram starts shoving it in my face. I suggested some gloves to my missus the other day and adverts started popping up of thermal winter gloves. The absolute cheek.

I've subscribed when I've had the disposable income. But then I don't live in GOT like some. I use actual lamps in my house rather than the glow of screen in a box room x

Paying to stop ads and see what Barry the IT guy who you worked with years ago is having for his dinner or what plane he is boarding to go on holiday!

Don't even have is phone number but yet im seeing his day to day life. 'Koff'

I deleted FB around 9-10 years ago.
Instagram around 3 years ago.

You can’t spare £3.50 per month? lol maybe you should cancel your phone/internet contract then.

Look after the dd and the money looks after itself. I just know where to draw a line.

Exactly!

People begging for likes aswell. It's just mostly fake crap and people trying to brag. It's utter garbage and a massive cringe fest.

I sort of get when people say they use it to stay in touch with others, but why not take their number and use WhatsApp?

Never done Instagram, and ditched Facebook a few weeks ago, bliss. The only intrusion I get online is from the sad gets on here, but I can live with it.

The classic taking a photo to post but before hand removing ye birds knickers from the radiator (take it again) and getting the best angle that makes your house look nice! Or the arl 'traffics horrendous on the M6' whilst making sure they get their Audi or BMW sign in on the steering wheel.
