Here's the thread
>>>/pol/63087441

It just buffered, never loaded.

I checked out an archived thread on /c/ and there was some strange ad there.

I'm guessing Hiro has started putting bad ads in archived threads now.

>>435113
I guess I'll have to find a way to block ads on my phone now. Banner ads never bothered me enough to try

>>435103
just reported this to crystal, hopefully will get updated to block them

fucking shady ass ad servers, hiro

And they're surprised that we use adblock. This is why, even when some site writes a big post begging to turn it off, I refuse.

I looked at some more archived threads on various boards, and yes, the bad ads are there too.

Is the ads supposed to be for mobile? Because it looks fucked up on browser.

Same thing is happening for me on archived threads on /vg/.
It crashed my browser (Firefox) while trying to buffer.

Hiroyuki was forced out of 2ch because of all the dodgy spyware and other shit he was doing.

Jap courts were after him so he had to give up 2ch and run away.

It's the history of 2ch.

It's why 2ch ended up being owned by an American, Hiroyuki gave it to him to avoid all the legal action he was facing in Japan.

I'm seeing this shit too when I use a browser without ublock. What the fuck.

For 4chan's entire fucking history there wasn't a single ad besides the 2 small header banners and 1 small footer header, and now this shit? Fuck you, hiroshima.
Isn't the pass and J-list money enough? I always disabled adblock on 4chan, but now I'm gonna enable it just because of that annoying out-of-place bullshit that looks like a fucking XSS attack

>>435496
I remember when 4chan went without ads for a while because moot found out the ads he was using were playing audio for some people.

Now with Hiroyuki in charge, when people report his new ads are redirecting to malware sites

You guys must have shitty phones because it loaded right up with me

>Infecting mobileposters
Just as planned

>>435509
This shit appears on desktops as well

>>435509
The reason we're hearing more about this from mobileposters is because iOS Safari only recently got ad blocking. It can potentially fuck your desktop up as well if you're not blocking ads.

Just use clover faggort.

>not using adblock

shigg my digg

>>435113
I saw one recently that was just a banner, but wide enough that it fucked up the mobile view. Fucking Hiro.

Is there a way to block that ad but not the banner ads with ublock?

>allowing all kinds of shit to run

>>435521
Yes

This is such bullshit. This shit makes me want to stop using this website, but all the threads I frequent are on /vg/ so I have no choice.

We would all be better off moving to a different chan, Hiro is destroying this website with his incompetence

>he actually added fucking malware ads in archived threads

time to remove my 4chan whitelist, I hope you all do the same

>>435527
How? I set 4chan-ads.org in dynamic filters to allow but it still says it's blocked.

>>435555
>he actually allowed ecpmrocks malware script to run

I like that it creates a high barrier of entry for sanctimonious faggots who haven't always been using an ad blocker of some kind. If you're stupid enough to still be supporting the 1990s 'ecommerce' business model with banner ads then you deserve all the malware you get.

I got Origin ads on /v/ kek

I allowed ads here because they're not very intrusive and I like the site, but this has made me wary enough to block them. Haven't had a complaint against Hiro so far, but this is straight-up bad practice.

On the plus side, look at all the vertical space I'm saving.

What's with all the 8gag shills?

I've never seen an infected ad, and I spend hours and hours here. This is what you get for being a mobilefag, faggots.

Seconding this. I'm genuinely okay with what Hiro is doing with these ads.

Fuck off.
Websites can't survive without ad revenue. What you are doing will lead to really bad things.

>>435930
Fuck off, most websites have gone full botnet compared to 4chan and few others.
Only the least cancerous deserve whitelisting.

>>435930
Fuck off. The internet was not invented for this. Adsense based revenue streams are a flawed business model to begin with and shouldn't have ever made it past the tech bubble of 1999. Too bad it's a trillion dollar industry now.

same here, only in archived threads.

this shit is slowing Firefox and just fucking my shit up.

When it finally loads, it's ads for financial companies, movie previews, etc.

It's a sad day.

>>435955
Websites need ad revenue. How the hell do you expect them to pay for servers, etc? You think that it's free?

>>435988
4chan has run off of banner ads for years. If anything, this will cut revenue as many people, myself included, will throw on adblock to stop these ads with audio. Fuck that.

What adblockers do you use? Maybe 4chan X and/or Oneechan blocks this content.
>utorrent
Get rid of this.

>>440597
Now, you should probably clear your system.

>>440602
>What adblockers do you use?
Only Adblock Plus but it's disabled so I don't think it has to do with that.

>Get rid of this.
Why? I thought utorrent 2.2.1 was still good to use?

>>440605
>utorrent 2.2.1 was still good to use?
It is, but no versions beyond that one should ever be used. Qbittorrent has been working pretty well for me though.

>>440607
Noted.
Also, how do you see if epcm is running? I want to be sure that it's really gone.

>>440607
>It is, but no versions beyond that one should ever be used.
Why not though?

>>440607
3.1.3 is fine if you disable all the bullshit

>>440611
Because after utorrent 2.2.1 they started running ads and shit.

>>440602
Also can confirm that 4chanX is the one blocking the ad: https://github.com/ccd0/4chan-x/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

>>440608
You can check the source of the page.

> why only archive threads?

Because the archive sucks up the website and all the coding therein *at that time* you dense cunts. Do you really expect codebase changes made here to magically update on the archives?

Fuck.

>>440621
don't act like a smartass if you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
hiro added it to archived threads deliberately, the ad script is actually inside the big "this thread is archived" message at the top of the page.

I've already reported this to several sites and authorities. Deliberately spreading redirects and injecting malware, even through ads, is a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse act, and since Hiro's not American, he's started a big issue.

Another one of Hiro's brilliant ideas to try and claw some money out of this shithole

come back moot

>>441448
It was moot who started the changes to get more users and ad money

>add redditurls (435103/what-is-this-shit) and keep threads for a week for better search engine indexing

>make accidental dox less likely by removing email/subject and stripping images
>trying to save bandwidth by making small changes

>>441457
>add redditurls (435103/what-is-this-shit)
That was a retarded change nobody wanted and asked for, it's irrelevant and not needed. Why it even exists is beyond me.
>keep threads for a week for better search engine indexing
Except that's not the purpose for the archive.
>make site more userfriendly
>make accidental dox less likely by removing email/subject and stripping images
[Settings] should be disabled by default, people should lurk before participating. Adding autonoko and removing emails was also a big minus.
>accidental dox
Lol, you can't find out shit with emails unless you know how.
>trying to save bandwidth by making small changes
And that's bad how?

>>441517
>That was a retarded change nobody wanted and asked for, it's irrelevant and not needed. Why it even exists is beyond me.
All teh big websites use it because search engines rank the keywords in the URL higher
>Except that's not the purpose for the archive.
It's there to collect pageviews that would otherwise go to the 3rd party archives, and it's even more effective than changing the URL
>Lol, you can't find out shit with emails unless you know how.
You underestimate the power of people using the same email/handle for everything.
>And that's bad how?
At first he dissed all suggestions from /g/, but before selling it he had tried all kinds of optimizations.

>>441404
So I updated Nightly and it stopped happening.

>>435103
Whenever I look on pretty much any archived thread, a message pops up for downloading Adobe Flash player. It locks up my browser so I have to quit it. Knowing it's a scam, I can't click "yes".

Is this Hiro's way of scaring normies away from the site?

I had one that didn't do anything but clicking on it would take you to wix.com. Another just buffered a video for eternity.
