I've just noticed this and don't know if it's just my VPN or not, but when I don't have a VPN on and on this site there is an Ad every time I change a page and ads that just randomly pop up, though with my VPN on and Connected in the US (I'm in the UK, use the VPN for Netflix mostly, the US Netflix is way better) the is no ads at all like none it's great. Anyway does anyone else experience this?
Here is a screenshot of the page it even doesn't have the ads that aren't annoying lol.

I don’t.

I use my iPad for Arachnoboards unless uploading a picture (bigger screen, can see easier, easier to type, more easy on my eyes to read, etc). On my iPad no ads, but on my iPhone loads of ads. Same iOS version, same update. But I am not complaining.

I didn’t know American Netflix was better, with the price gone up to £12.99 for the cheapest no ads version is too much.

Those who pay for arachnosupporter have no adds.

For the vpn i cant say i dont have one. But they do have a way of blocking certain things in the way they function.

I know they can have it but what I'm saying is when I connect to the US it doesn't have ads. With the VPN on and just a random UK location it still gives ads, my VPN doesn't have any ad blockers it's only when I'm connected to a US server that I don't get Ads, know what I'm saying?

ok. I understand. Thats tech knowledge beyond my payroll. I bet i could get you the information, only i have low levels of energy at the moment.

i searched a bit, i found people asking similar questions on google.

could be a browser thing, including language and location settings.

its also a vpn location thing, depending on where the vpn is actualy located.
