I turned on adblocking a long time ago just to make the site readable, but I’ve bought things through the store and clicked the Amazon links a few times to support the good people who run this place, but the signal to noise ratio in the adverticles is definitely reaching a new low.
@boingboingshop - as an experiment, I’d suggest keeping the actual good products, (things the site operators know and love themselves), but replacing all of the lame crap which turns people off and nobody will buy anyway, with simple adverts saying the site has support costs, with links to donate via Patreon, Paypal, Bitcoin, etc, (the more options the better!)
