Google ads have been removed. We just crossed a payout threshold and didn’t want to turn them off until we could get our money owing out. Sorry if they were obtrusive or scammy looking, that’s all on Google. (And the ads that are shown are obviously customized to the user so please note that we don’t see the same ones you see. In fact, we don’t see any at all unless we use someone else’s computer as it doesn’t show ads to the site owner.)
