I don't think I've ever had a site crash out Chrome before but the ads on these pages have run it out of memory a few times now and even when they don't the onslaught of horrific ads makes the pages hideous and perform like crap.

I've been on the subnautica wiki the most lately and with ad blocking the site is attractive, informative, and runs smooth as silk. Enable ads and it turns into a stinking cesspool of clutter, glitz, and looks and runs like crap.

Using ads can be done without being completely and utterly obnoxious and I allow ads on some other sites I visit that don't make the content secondary to the advertising, which is what these fandom/wikia sites are like with ads on. There was some VR ad that literally took up 2/3 of the screen (at 1920x1080) which is absolutely not acceptable.

Some games have more than one wiki out there and I assure you that I'd rather not use fandom/wikia with ads enabled or ad blocking policed.

I'd gladly pay a reasonable yearly fee for a quality resource rather than suffer thru advertising and I can't believe there's enough ad revenue per user that makes it worth ruining your site and content.

Tell it to Special:Contact/feedback, unless you're just venting.
