Tapatalk Inserting Ads... Austinchief?
Anyone else using paid version of tapatalk and getting ads disguised as threads?

From a summary search, it appears tapatalk paid has begun to place ads without forum admin's knowledge. Apparently the admin can opt out, but opt in is the default setting.

As much as I like tapatalk, this sounds like some shady shit. Particularly considering users paid for the app. I'm assuming AC isn't even aware it's happening.

Anyway, would like to hear AC's take and suggest dropping tapatalk.

I'm on it now, and a lot of the time with the paid version, and no problems like you're describing. FYI.

If there's an option to turn it off, I could see doing that, but it seems silly to "drop tapatalk" entirely. It's not like there's a better option out there, and those who don't like the ads can just stop using it.

It's a great app but the idea that they are inserting ads in someone's forum without consent just seems pretty slimy.

Not my call to make, but if it was I'd probably make it out of principle.

And I'd be livid. I use Tapatalk exclusively on my phone, and the ads don't bother me personally. I'd literally stop coming to CP on my phone if Tapatalk weren't available.

I take it you don't have an iPhone? I use my iPhone to go to Chiefsplanet a lot, and I strongly prefer it to Tapatalk.

No, but I fail to see what an iPhone has to do with anything. It's not like Android's browsers are any different. I just like the Tapatalk interface dramatically more.

I had ads inserted at the top of the page and every 3rd post in Google Chrome starting last week. Switched over to FireFox and no problem.

Don't drop tapatalk from CP. I don't even go to forums without it on my phone now. If there is an option to just drop the ads, go for it. Otherwise just live with it.

I can't stand NOT using tapatalk. There are things missing (rep, polls), but it more than makes up for it, IMO in ease of use.
That said, I haven't gotten any ads yet.

I use the free version of Tapatalk on my iPhone, and noticed the ads recently.

Obviously I wish there weren't any ads, but its not enough to get me to stop using it.

Ok so I just looked into this and apparently they implemented this and had it default to show ads but I can opt-out. The problem is this... Tapatalk circumvents our one Google ad that helps pay server costs. In theory these ads are supposed to create revenue that Tapatalk will pay me... I say "in theory" because from what I have read, the people who run Tapatalk are notorious dirtbags who have had past issues with not ever paying people and such.

I think I'll let it ride for a month or so and see what happens but I may opt-out if it looks like it won't help offset the loss of Adsense revenue.

make sense?
