Trialling adsense to begin with but I may replace it with another if this doesn't really work. Still tweaking it, and have already disabled a few parts of it that are overly annoying. Let me know if you see any issues that need addressing.
The blunt reasoning: I need monies. I am a little capitalist bitch. The price of everything keeps going up, and Patreon just isn't keeping up with it (and Thunderbird are no longer sponsoring too as that was only temporary).
It may turn out not to be worth it, and if so, I will simply remove it and seek other funding somehow (suggestions always welcome).
I want to continue running GOL for a very long time and extra funding is essential.
If you never want to see adverts / sponsors
Support GOL directly on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/liamdawe
Other ways to support: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/support-us/ (but only Patreon removes ads).
Reporting Bad Adverts
For people reporting problematic adverts: I'll need the URL it leads to or the website name along with a screenshot, so try and grab the link somehow so I can block it in adsense. Only so much I can do with a screenshot if it's not obvious where it leads to.
Adverts are disgusting, I hate this raaa
I get it. Use adblock if you need to. I won't hold it against you and won't bug you with pop-ups asking you to disable it either.
Finally: this is not a place to debate or argue with other users. Please keep this topic hyper-focused on feedback. Comments going off will simply be removed. Comments that are complaints and nothing more will be removed. Be useful, or don't post in this topic please.

But if you want a ballpark figure, an extra ~£500 a month would settle things nicely without a problem.

Edit: make the ad visible for every user, otherwise you won't get any money, right?

I have GOL whitelisted on my browsers builtin adblock quite some time. Currently also not able to really commit to patreon due to all the living expenses rising etc.

(For reference, the Ars subscription - which ISTR is cheaper the bigger chunk you get at once - gets you no ads or trackers and a big subscriber badge on all your posts to encourage others to pick up a subscription, too. I think that whether it auto-renews or not is a tickbox in a user's control panel)
