Would you pay to go ad-free on the Talk App?

I feel as though if you introduced this feature, you'd up the amount of ads to make it annoying to the point where you'd hope people subscribed. For me, it would have the adverse affect. I'd just move to a different, free site.

I wouldn't pay a sub but would pay a one-off fee for the app. But that's only if the app were improved! (Currently have no voting buttons and I HATE that in threads you can't jump to other pages/the end of the thread/last read. Long threads that I want to keep up with I will open in a browser rather than the app).

No. If it got unusable due to ads then id give up. I spend too much time on mumsnet anyway!

No

I use Android but prefer to use the mobile site rather than the app - tried it sometime ago and really didn't like it at all.
I don't get ads on the mobile site as I use an adblocker. The extra features you're offering would not be enough to entice me to use the app again, let alone pay for it. Sorry.

I'd expect a vast improvement of the app and more than just no ads if I were to pay. Except I probably wouldn't pay it. Browser with a (free) adblocker works better for nothing.

Definitely not.

Ha, pay for emoticons?! We’re not kids!

Absolutely no way would I pay. The existing app is pretty shite anyway and frequently crashes. I just use desktop with ad blocker.

If more ads start appearing I’ll just ditch the site altogether

No chance.

@HoustonBess has a point. I'd want better functionality in an app. To be able to read and send private messages, change settings, better search function, the voting buttons. It's a shadow of the browser function.

@NatashaAlianovaRomanova , that's weird, the banner ads took over the whole screen on my phone for a while yesterday. Haven't read the full thread so don't know if this happened a lot.
In answer to the OP, no
I wouldn't.

No.

I'd just go and waste all my time on reddit instead.

You need a better product to be able to charge, tbh

I would be tempted to pay a small one time fee if there were perks like filtering on op posts but never a subscription.

Why try to turn MN into something else?
I would never pay. And I would despise you a bit for this.

I accept MN is a business and so don't write too much about your crappy articles about McDonalds or gin you advertise directly or indirectly . But, would you stop promoting junk food from the "tell us what you think about ... " if the site went ad-free? It is still an ad, even if masked into a survey. The banners don't bother me. I ignore them.

Ads have never bothered me previously as they were fairly unobtrusive but since reading this thread earlier today they've started taking over my screen.

If this continues I'll just stop using the app.

No!

No

HappyLoneParentDay and others who would like to see only OP's posts, you can do CTRL+F on laptop or 'find on page' on phone for their username.

TBH MN you're not offering anything on a subscription that we can't really get for free with a workaround. I'm all for supporting MN but there's nothing in your list I would pay for!

No, I dont find ads annoying. Ok without heaps of emoji. Never posted a photo to mn but feel current limit ok its quite cluncky looking at photos anyway. In summary no to paying.

No

No, I’d just find another place to hang.

Nope.

Ah... cunning! Make the ads more and more annoying so people start thinking in desperation they would pay for no ads!

No I wouldn’t - id put up with them but scroll past/not take any notice of what they are trying to sell me.

Nope, I wouldn't pay. I've stopped using YouTube a lot now as well because of their forced stupid ads every 2 bloody minutes now. I'd find another site.
