I tried subscribing to pcgamer ( as in, I literally paid for it ) two years ago but this didn’t seem to change structurally the amount of ads i was getting. I also tried to contact them directly but couldn’t find a relevant email address to reach out to.

I now use an ad blocker instead. I’m not proud of it, but being actively hostile to me is something I don’t quite understand especially when I’m trying hard to give them money.
