Popular Post SV. Posted January 13 Popular Post Share Posted January 13 Personalized Ads: Advertisers use ad networks to target ads to users based on characteristics such as their online behavior, physical location, or demographics. Behavioral targeting shows ads to users based on their online activity, such as past searches or browsing history. Somewhere in your journey to create the best playlists, you've caught the attention of the "evil" Adobe. Perhaps, rather than asking what "the mods" are being paid, it's best to ask what sort of price, or lack thereof, you're paying for the literal internet history of your actions. 6 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-dlc- Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The ads help pay for the site, not us...admin/mods are volunteers. As a matter of fact, I believe one admin who shall not be named contributes out of pocket so you couldn't be more wrong. You can always contribute by donation if you'd like. This was an alternative that we thought we'd try to see if it could sustain the site without reaching out to members for help. Ribs has worked hard to come up with this site despite the rug being pulled on the other one. Cheers. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do most of my CDC/cff on my phone, but the ads are a real pain for my work so that works best for my situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online banking, me? that might make my wife faint out of shock. No social media ( other than this CFF), no online shopping, no cloud, no banking, nothin. I am such a cash man that I didn't get a credit card until i was about 30 and that was just my wife 'adding' me to hers. Had to get a credit line that I barely used, to build up my credit score, found out no-score is bad ( dunno why). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid for 1/2 my trip to Japan last year. So it can be worth it. I hated having a mortgage tho, the big numbers bugged me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think not running ccards has helped me get ahead too. I give myself an allownace in a way. If I cant afford it , i dont buy it. Still have a mortgage but I am in a lucky spot that I can pay it off if I want. Renewal is up in Nov, so I'll see where the rates are at and decide.

Congrats. My wife and I are great with cash. A real team. We share everything. Both our incomes have always gone into one savings account ( with some other little things). The only time its tricky is if we want to surprise the other with an expensive gift as we both know the bank balance. But, thats not a bad problem to have. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bort Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 6 hours ago, Rob Eh said: I hope Adobe pays you well, i can't use this site. There's a lot to unpack here, even in such a short statement. I'll take a slightly different approach. So, after waking from a coma you've been in since 1998, a lot has changed. Nothing more important than "learning to adapt." One more thing. It's 2024, and one of the biggest changes you'll see is that we don't listen to music on CDs anymore, there's this "app" that people use called Spotify... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
