I have learned to live with the new 1" band on the bottom. The pop us happen very infrequently on my equipment, and I have not had one of these legendary Best Buy ads yet.
My computer gets an "oil change" from my IT guy once every month or two. Perhaps that should be considered by the members with the worst/most intrusions. Your security, firewalls, etc. may need a tune up
If that doesn't do it, then the Premium is the way to go. .

This site is WAAAAYYY more intrusive and disturbing then just the BEST BUY ads. IT READS MINDS!!!!! I was just about to pay the $5 when the BEST BUY ads disappeared for a couple of days so I decided not to pay. What do you know? The BEST BUY ads reappeared with a vengence. For my part, Im going to pay the $5 monthly and consider it a contribution to one of society's better creations in the past 50 years. I understand not wanting to pay and also not wanting to see the BEST BUY ads. There is an alternative to paying or seeing the BEST BUY ads. Just unhook your computer and take it to the BEST BUY Geek Squad (you can learn about The BEST BUY Geek Squad by accidentally clicking on the BEST BUY ads you will find here). When dropping off your computer at The BEST BUY Geek Squad, ask them to install a BEST BUY Super-Duper Spam Blocker (which you can lean about by accidentally clicking on the BEST BUY ads you will find here). Then...wait about 35 days for the BEST BUY Geek Squad to install the BEST BUY Super-Duper Spam Blocker, pick up your computer at BEST BUY and return it home. This will solve your problem for about 2 days until BEST BUY figures out a way to defeat the BEST BUY Super-Duper Spam Blocker because after all BEST BUY is not only the BEST (you can lean about that by accidentally clicking on the BEST BUY ads that you will find here) but also the BEST BUY. Ask BEST BUY, they'll tell you.

I would encourage paying the $5, because I really believe it to be the right thing to do if you really want to remove the ads, as this site generally is outstanding. But with a little digging, other methods do exist for those who might be in rough financial times at the moment.

It's funny to me because the Best Buy near me closed. Like most tech retail stores, they seem to be struggling to stay afloat

I understand sites having ads but having a best buy ad pop up every 10 seconds and block what you are doing is just overkill. I understand "bills have to be paid" but aren't banner ads enough? I also consider the fact that this site relies on its users to provide content in order for it to be useful. And knowing the Admin has the ability to control ads I find it deliberate to have these ads be as intrusive as they are. And that makes me not want to pay just on principle. Its 2023 and you don't need to pester your users with incessant pop up ads to "pay the bills".

I feel like paying the 5 bucks was the best thing to do. The ads were driving me crazy as well. That was four plus years ago. I can only imaging that it has gotten worse. To me 5 bucks is a small price to pay in supporting this lifeline to my card collecting.
