Did you know that actively filtering ads from websites is stealing. Every time you use one of these ad blocking services, you're also enabling an extortion practice where ad-blocking companies charge content providers money to let their ads through the filter.
The content we provide on the website is completely free, but we do still have bills to pay to cover the expenses of servers and bandwidth. We only ask you to allow ads to be shown while you are using our website.
