I don't think it's fair to use an ad blocker, even though they are annoying. MN is free because it hosts adverts.

use free to add uBlock Origin as an extension, zero ads 🙂

I also can’t bear the ‘Mumsnet made me buy this’ line which they use on seemingly every promoted ad now and is so cringeworthy. Makes me so determined not to buy it!

Is that where Dalmatians are from?

No, they originate from a region in Croatia.

It's so annoying, who I'm marketing thinks posting multiple "threads" is an effective technique?

YANBU.

Everyone I know is in Dalaman.

You've just reminded me again of the cheese festival DH and I realised last night that we've missed by a week 😰

I’m so sorry, that was clumsy and thoughtless of me Blush

I keep seeing that one in Active, usually next to a thread from the Feminism & Women's Rights topic.

Same here. It’s like they’re trolling.

Haven’t a scooby where Dalaman is, but I bet they don’t have anything as mysterious as the Dacre Bears

Neither do I. Pretty sure I know a man wrote the ‘ironing is blissful’ ad though. Absolute horse shit.

I genuinely thought there'd been some algorithm shenanigans at work when I checked out Flightradar 24 and randomly saw a flight going to Dalaman, then had to Google to see where in the world Dalaman was... Good to know it's not just me.

IkaBaar · 12/07/2024 15:44

We’ve use an ad blocker on our home WiFi- it’s great!!

theeyeofdoe · 12/07/2024 15:40

It’s somewhere far too hot where no one in their right mind would choose to go in July.
(hence the adverts)

This is sneaky viral advertising for the festival, right? Very clever...

Yanbu. I have no clue wtf Dalaman is and also don't care. Nobody is there, nobody wants to go there. Piss off, Dalamanbot.

AllyCart · 12/07/2024 15:27

Why not use an ad blocker and then you won't have a clue what this is about, like me. 😂

The advertising on Mumsnet is getting increasingly desperate and ridiculous.
No idea where Dalaman is but 4 adverts for it on just one page made certain I wasn’t going to go and find out.
