If you have trouble with HF ads, then just use Brave browser. It doesn't require you to be "internet savvy", it's just block them. Reading complaint about ads makes me feel people here are 77 years old like my dad.

I think the users are great too. I dont think the site is. The site has built a reputation a long time ago but hasn't really done anything to improve the forums. That's the issue. They shouldn't be running such an aggressive ad format, especially on mobile that actually impacts user interaction. That's bad design, and bad business practice. If you're making your site stinky to sell ads in the most aggressive way possible, then you're doing it wrong.
The point of the site is to sell ads, not talk hockey. This has been the case for years now. As a user, you accept that and just solve it yourself.
Oh…got it! Sent. I think it that craveonline thing.

I know that. My only gripe is that they have so many users and they have no competition that means they can really improve their business and user experience at the same time.

I just noticed that the "About Us" section at the bottom now reads "Our community has been around for many years and pride ourselves on offering unbiased, critical discussion among people of all different backgrounds. We are working every day to make sure our community is one of the best." Boring! Please change it back to "This is Out House." 
Make the

arrows to find the Previous and Next pages on a thread a different colour.
As when you are on Dark Mode, you can’t see them as they blend in against the darkened background.

They can afford it. Trust me. If you invest in your business and improve your capital then not investing is being lazy. Which is what I think this site has become. If they put in an ounce of energy then their premium membership wouldn’t essentially be “pay to stop seeing ads”. They could offer more if they tried.
I’m done talking about HF though. I’ve put more energy in talking about this site today than their creative director has in a year lolll

And you can’t sell ads if no one wants to use it as a discussion board because it’s a craptastic product. This is a fundamental sales model tenet.

Case in point being I just tried to use the edit function on the above post and guess what, it doesn’t work again, like earlier today.
Craptastic.

Please don’t encourage them to modify the programming code.
We know that won’t end well for the platform.
