AIBU or is the 'we depend on advertising to keep the lights on' a ^little^ annoying?

From a multi million pound enterprise? Preying on sometimes vulnerable women? So that you can subject them to more advertising?

You're not a charity. We are not here in sympathy with you. We are here because you provide a forum you can make money from.

How can you compare 'keeping the lights on' in a multi-million pound business to a vulnerable poster who actually can't afford electricity?

Have you completely lost your soul? Because you'll lose all your minions soon if you don't change your tune.

What on earth are you talking about?
If you use adblocker that is appearing for some people on mumsnet.
Lots of websites use the same kind of wordingn, Lots of news sites especially, I'm meh about it, doesn't annoy me.

I think you have to put this in "site stuff" for them to actually see it.

Or you could report yourself I suppose.

Why don't you change your mission statement from 'aiming to make parents' lives easier' to 'aiming to get as much advertising revenue as we possibly can at all costs'. Seems more in line with your recent behaviour.
