Oct 14, 2019 at 12:21 comment added Shadow Wizard @Jenayah SO might still run the old system where they get ads directly from the advertisers, e.g. Microsoft. But the network wide experiment is a done deal, and when it won't be experiment anymore, I'm sure SO will also get it. :(

Oct 14, 2019 at 9:36 comment added Jenayah @VLAZ on the other hand, the IPS matter was spotted on SO, and if I'm not mistaken, SO ads are not Google Ads? I may be mistaken but I think it's a different ads provider. At least I never saw anything inappropriate in ads on SO, but maybe I just got lucky
Oct 14, 2019 at 8:30 comment added VLAZ @Shadow this could be re-worked into a better slogan: "Have a question? Ask and let us *sunglasses drop* deal with it.

Oct 14, 2019 at 7:43 comment added Shadow Wizard @VLAZ Twitter age is over. Now SE is in a new phase "We do what we want, the way we want, and don't care a tiny bit what others are thinking".

Oct 14, 2019 at 7:18 comment added VLAZ @Jenayah "but seeing scantily ​dressed women on a site like The Workplace is 100% inappropriate" I remember IPS was banned from the HNQ for far less than this. So, I completely agree. I know you know that SE are working on something about vetting ads (albeit by users) but perhaps we wait until somebody raises attention on Twitter and it will be released.
Oct 14, 2019 at 6:50 comment added Zach Lipton How about "excessively considerate, ludicrously on-topic advertisements?"
Oct 14, 2019 at 6:45 comment added Mari-Lou A Слава Україні and We're testing advertisements across the network What would Stack Overflow look like if there were no measures?
Oct 14, 2019 at 6:44 comment added Mari-Lou A Слава Україні Related: Today's inappropriate ad: health scam on Travel and How can I report NSFW ad on main site? Arcade.SE. And Inappropriate dating ad on The Workplace
Oct 14, 2019 at 6:43 comment added Shadow Wizard This isn't relevant because SE can't hand pick the ads anymore. They made final business decision to use external ad provider, and they have no control over the content that provider will inject to the visitors. All they can do is remove specific ads after they're already in the air in response to reports here.

Oct 14, 2019 at 6:34 comment added Journeyman Geek Actually something I'm wondering is - since its an experiment, what they hope would be a successful outcome. But eh, maybe when things are a little quieter ;)

Oct 14, 2019 at 6:29 comment added Jenayah "if you don’t like an ad just skip it or let it go" that doesn't work for a network viewed daily by thousands (millions?) of people, some of them being in a work environment. As was said by someone else here I'm not prude and I'm okay with shady ads if I'm browsing shady sites, but seeing scantily ​dressed women on a site like The Workplace is 100% inappropriate. Aaaand on top of that I do not want fingerprinting ads. Remember this?
Oct 14, 2019 at 6:26 comment added Robert Longson Probably depends on the site. I could imagine adverts for or containing alcohol might not go down as well on Islam as they might elsewhere.
