Is it me, or are the ads on this site getting more annoying as time goes on? I made an Adblock exception for Steamgifts, but it's starting to bug me. I used to get normal ads for games-related stuff, but I've been getting flashing/moving pictures with YOU MIGHT ALREADY HAVE WON AN IPHONE, dating sites, and other shit like that. This is annoying enough on its own, but now I'm even getting video ads with sound and music, which is just unacceptable to me.

I've re-enabled Adblock for now since that shit bugs me like nothing else. I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. Some of the ads are in Dutch so I assume it would be different for people in different countries, but either way it's annoying as fuck.

I've made a picture showing what I mean, for people who don't know what I'm talking about.

I haven't got any of those ads with sounds yet. If that happens, I'll adblock Steamgifts. So far, I don't mind.

Perhaps you're using some kind of bypass / proxy / unblocker etc. and it displays that you're from another country, using another IP address? Here in the UK the ads are completely sensible.

and another one
it's a dutch dating site and no I did not google this bs.
Most ads are gaming related but every now and then something like this slips through.
if I spot that bra one again I can screenshot it if needed.

At this point do people still click on those "YOU WON A FREE BLANK CLICK HERE!" ads enough for them to be viable/lucrative anymore?
Though I suppose every year there are new naive kids entering the vicious word of the internets every day... but I can't see that being enough. Or maybe it is? I don't really know.
