This thread is now closed after multiple requests. It's become hard to follow the argument, TBH. If you still want to discuss this, I'd suggest starting new and specific threads on specific aspects/questions.
I don't often do the Sheriff of UKBF thing but I've had a couple of reports about this thread. I don't want to close it or start deleting posts but @Aniela and @Clinton – please keep it civil.

Sorry, only just picked this up.
We haven't changed any settings re: ads on our side; all the ads are provided by third-parties (Google, primarily).
