Note to self. Always start surfing the front page on the third image to avoid the promoted shit Imgur puts out. Fuck this show. Penis.

Please don't. that's a UI bug. It's not actually favoriting and you're seeing it in a reverse state. If you click, it'll actually get fav'd.

Yep, I've already been doing that with each Promoted Post. :)
BinaryMaster
Fuck off, will you. I'm honestly surprised anyone is still advertising like this with the response to the ads.
Dracco
Yeah I don't get it either. Ted 2's rep is forever ruined for Imgurians because of their 8 thousand ads.
elppapple
I am not surprised, however, that MTV would still slink their asses in here.
Nas160

tranderas
How do you want them to advertise? The site needs to make money or else shut down.
Attacker732
Maybe shuffle in more diverse ads to start... And not just cycling the same tired ads.
mybrothersmario
the way they did for years before, with ads in the sidebar, while still offering Imgur Plus, even if they charged more for it..
tranderas
i've never heard of imgur plus...
FunCinnabun
Maybe they should... advertise it.
mybrothersmario
That only means you came here after it was already gone, and Imgur was starting to roll downhill.
tranderas
I... I've been here for over 3 years. I don't think that's the case? I'm not sure.
LassKibble
They allowed us to pay to them directly to get rid of ads, many (MANY of us) gladly paid. They got rid of it for this shit.
tranderas
Just like twitch removed the "no ads" clause from partner contracts and replaced it with a window that blocks the screen if you use ABP. Hm.
Bhargo
MTV is garbage, this stupid show is garbage, promoted ads suck donkey nuts
Stacyanna
Most of mtv is garbage but they do have a couple of good scripted shows.
noyoumaynothaveanother
I think we hate these ads because they're so impersonal. Maybe have some "behind the scenes" or "how it's made" instead and promote (1/x)
mremaknu
It's also because the stuff that's being advertised... really isn't all that interesting to the vocal majority of imgur, far as I've seen.
popculturella
Agreed.
noyoumaynothaveanother
the show as an oh by the way type of moment. I come here for the lolz and to look at some cool shit while learning a thing or two. (2/x)

TheDude12345
Well, you've been profiled for their 'selected feature' trial. oooooh maybe you were drafted!
brynmosher
It's a real bug. We're trying to tie it down and get it fixed, but there are a lot of variables involved.
DragonDew
Hey, don't worry about it. If they want to block your ads, this is the only revenue you'll see from them. On this free site. Free.
Yogsulate
One of the Devs does, and is currently working on fixing it. He claims it's an issue with adblock users.
ImBadAsh
Prove it Imgur employee.
brynmosher
Proving it. Install uBlock Origin. Navigate between a promoted post and another post. See parts of the page fail to update and get wonky.
brynmosher
It's not just adblockers though. There are a few factors contributing to this issue and I'm trying to track them all down.
brynmosher
That would be me. Extensions that alter the page (like ghostery and come CSS extensions) are also having issues. It's a complex bug.
ZacMuerte
makes sense. "page should always be made like this" 3rd party comes in "nah, like this, fam", and assumptions break.
ZacMuerte
which is why most of my classes (programming) come with a "it works great, just don't feed it bad stuff, or it'll ignore it"
imnotthedoctor
yES, AND IT'S NO BUG
theDemongod
I'm pretty sure sponsored posts are just inserted periodically into whatever you're looking at, I don't think it's actually in there.

tasteslikechaos
They did just fine before they got greedy. They don't want the site to just "run", they all want to get filthy stinking rich.
SamtheAtLeastanHourMan
You have no idea the reality of costs. The increasing need for additional servers to maintain a site like this, the employee salaries 1/2
SamtheAtLeastanHourMan
to fix, maintain, create, innovate, people who have rents and bills like you and I. That's the real world, get over it. 2/2

It'll take you less than a second to skip and ignore this instead of being a dick about it. Imgur needs money like all sites.

It's one thing to have banner ads, or ads on the side of the screen. It's another to flood the front page with them.

I only came across a few posts I didn't care to see, I pressed the right arrow key and moved on. Letting an ad bother you is just ridiculous

Hilariously, they weren't even an indie band since the promotion was from Warner Bros. They sure wanted to seem like they were though.

Where people swim at the same speed... Yeah because swimming isnt an Olympic sport or anything. some people are faster than others.
fracturematt
I like how they put this as top comment. Even though it has less points than the second comment. Because it's not negative about the ad.
NoWisdomWithoutRegret
I think that it's because of the difference between best (better ratio of upvotes to downvotes) and top (most points overall).
Coppermantis
This is correct. Sorting by top orders comments by net points, while "best" is some kind of ratio.
Nyther53
Actually that skirt would probably cause a noticeable amount of drag compared to someone in pants. Continuing a proud tradition of skirts
Nyther53
getting people killed.
doublekross
But he's wearing a fucking ROBE. In comparison, I think a short skirt has less drag.
Nyther53
I didn't say she would be better, I said a skirt would not be an advantage like the man thought. Wearing pants would be better than a skirt.
PhoenixLord
Especially since he's wearing a heavy robe. Try swimming in that. You wouldn't even have to use your arms to out-swim him.

and his knife might fall out of his robe pocket while he's swimming!
