Answering your questions about Mumsnet premium and how this affects Gransnet

I quite like the adverts.

I see GN is carrying adverts for a Chinese company that keeps changing its name and sells the most unbelievable shoddy tat. I know because I fell victim to this scam. I ordered 2 dresses neither of which fitted. One was a tent for someone of about size 20, the other about size 10 with nearly a one foot difference in length. They said I could only return the items to China at my own expense when I complained. I reported them to trading standards and eventually I got my money back through the credit card I had used.

I think the Tiger one was for Esso
I wouldn't pay for a no ad site, and i think at the moment a lot of people wont be able to afford to pay any more for anything

I’ve niticed the ads don’t bother me I just quickly skip over them too busy reading the posts

Very happy as it is and I don’t notice any ads

It was for posters like you who were ( and still are ?) being ripped off by these companies. I contacted GN months ago concerning these adds but was told there wasn't much they could do.
If you see any sites that you might be interested in, go onto FB, there you will get the truth.
I continue to wage my campaign on these companies via FB.
I've had 2 strikes ( serious warning) the next time it's a life ban so I'm very careful now how I word my posts.

I too never really notice the ads. I rarely notice ads on any sites and merely just think of them as a slightly irritating nuisance.

Just read Mumsnet FAQ. I am not a prolific poster but do enjoy GN. If funds will assist I would be more than happy to pay an annual fee

I do see ads but not sure if Google or GN. Confession time I do look at online ads and have purchased things via that.
However the only GN is Amazon Audible ...the others are period knickers which I am long since passed

Ads don't bother me.

I used to see add for 'teen' clothes and awful grungy Joe Brown clobber but since downloading ESet security on my phone, I don't see any ads at all. There are big blank spaces between some of the posts with the miniscule word 'Ad' in blue in the top right corner.

Tweedlw24. Ref your ‘pleasuring chair’ ads, For ages I kept getting email ads offering me, ahem, p**is enlargement! As I am female, I was almost tempted to ask how this would be accomplished. I kept blocking them, but others came in their place, but they eventually stopped.
I also can’t think how I got onto a mailing list for such products! ?

To be honest, any adds on here pass me by.

I'm a member on Mumsnet and was a bit worried when they sent me an email about this. But not surprised. The income from adverts etc will be an important part of their income.
Not just the popups, but sponsored researches etc.
We need you both, especially now.

What ads? The advertisers are clearly wasting their money.

I haven’t noticed any adverts. I enjoy Gransnet, although I don’t comment much. I wouldn’t pay for it.

I’m another that doesn’t notice the ads!

I didn't realise there were ads on here.I just don't notice them.

Another one here who just ignores the ads. In fact I scroll through TV ads and ignore the ones in newspapers.

I do notice that anything I've been browsing pops up on GN, FB etc but it doesn't bother me.
I'm happy to keep GN as it is.

...the comments are far more interesting than the ads!
