Last time I was on the website, it gave me a fake anti-virus scan pop-up ad saying my iPhone was infected. I wasn’t even on an iPhone; I was using an Alienware laptop. What the hell?

Their ads are known for regularly giving people AIDS. I know that they had Google AdSense under Fast Eddie, but it doesn't sounds like they've changed their ad providers ever since the site was sold.

Funny thing, they've actually moved to the “disable Adblock or stare at the shaming screen” phase now. They'd already had an aggressive popup trying to get you to turn it off, but now they won't let you use the site at all if you have an ad blocker installed.

I'm still using adblock on all my devices and I've never seen the screen.

This will totally not be about weird fetishistic stuff, no sir.

They have a lot of tropes that are just barely disguised fetishes. The thing that gets me is how many users on the site seem to not realize that, including mods. You really think GoonerGate2014 is using the burp trope page because he thinks it's funny?
 
Since when is berber "derogatory"? Is this a new attempt at the "gypsy is le waysis!" thing?

Apparently the term "Berber" is an exonym. I'm starting to get the sense that some people are against the concept of exonyms to begin with and that literally all of them must be inherently offensive since it's not what they personally call themselves.

"Gypsy" is only derogatory because it refers to gypsies. If you called them anything else people would still hate them.
 
So, not too long ago, someone was forum-banned for arguing about allowing pages for AI-generated content on their site. Which ended with WarJay accidentally admitting that the staff don't really cares that much for the quality of most of their pages. And then another one of the jannies are complaining about having to police these arguments

Browsing TT on an Iphone is absolute ass.
The pages get constantly jerked up and down due to ads, you have ads that automatically send you to "YOUR PHONE HAS 10841084 VIRUSES" scams, ads that block the entire page, etc.
This has been an issue for years and yet it still persists.
 
I was just looking for the source of the 500 cigarettes meme...

Get brave already, I use it on an ipad (I suppose iphones are similar) and I get no ads issues with the site.
