A quick word on blocking ads
It looks like you are using an ad blocker. That's okay. Who doesn't? But without advertising revenue, we can't keep making this site awesome. Click the link below for instructions on disabling adblock.

VeryDillI normally do not complain about ads, but these are the worst ads I've ever encountered. At least get some skiing related ads. Or ads that don't take 30 seconds to get through.
Lieutenant_DanWhere did those really short Momentum ones that were like 6 seconds go? I don't know if it's me but I thought ads are only suppose to come up for like every couple of videos you watch, not every single one.
NH_OPERATORTry to remember that despite the ads sucking, they are what keep the doors open.
pussyfooterthese kids should just be stoked they missed double pits to chesty....
NH_OPERATORHaha I was not on here for that but I know exactly what ad you are talking about. God that must have been super obnoxious.
NH_OPERATORI do feel like not having the ability to mute them sucks, but I dont see the need to be watching one edit while waiting the 30 second ad for another plays. If you are that impatient go read the forums for the 30 seconds that the ad is loading for.
pussyfooteror god forbid hit the mute button on your keyboard...
ThurnisHaleyThis.
Honestly people its not that hard.
NH_OPERATORHis issue is that he cant watch edits while watching edits. He must consume ski media at a rate of 9001steezes per minute and steeze can not be had during Toyota commercials.
pussyfooterYeah I don't understand why the toyota ads are so bad, they're decently calm, kinda cheesy but whatever theyre not annoying to me at least. Just another great example of how spoiled these kids are.
drumbumocdpGo through this and tell me its not annoying as hell

And were all on computers, on the internet, probably somewhere decently comfortable... we're all spoiled, "kid"
cultraraOn a related note, how does using adblock hurt ns financially?
BWalmerAd revenue is one of the biggest incomes for NS
BWalmerAd revenue is one of the biggest incomes for NS, when those ads are blocked NS doesn't get revenue from them. So the more people using AdBlock, the less money NS gets from ads.
cultraraMy question is how does using adblock cause NS to loose ad revenue. If a user is running adblock, how specifically does that loose NS money?
Say I cover up all the ads in a magazine, or leave the room during a commercial break on TV, that does not make the magazine or TV show loose money.

BWalmerUnlike print or TV, web ads can count how many people have viewed them, so when an ad is blocked it doesn't load and therefore isn't counted as a view, since online ad companies pay per view when you use adblock you take away from the view count and therefore the revenue.
cultraraOk, so maybe it works differently with bigger ad packages, but I once advertisted on NS and paid something like a $100 for 10,000 impressions. NS gets the $100 and that isn't changed if users are running adblock or not.
I'm not trying to debate the fact that adblock hurts ad revenue, I'm trying to understand how it does.
pussyfooterYou buying ads =/= google ads/other ad clients. I know NS sells ads to companies and such but the majority of rev comes from the generic banner ads you see on most websites that are controlled by an ad client, which you get paid on per page load.

Mr.BishopDid you use the self serve system?
If so, then you bought say those 10,000 impressions. The $100 you paid will only go towards exactly 10,000 ad impressions.
Normally, we'd have to serve 10,000 page views to use your $100. However, imagine a certain amount of people are using adblock. We then need to serve 13,000 page views in order to bill you for 10,000 ad views.
You still pay the same $100 - but we have less overall impressions to sell. Those impressions being taken for adblock could have been sold to someone else for $30.
cultraraI was using the self serve system, and thanks for that explanation.
I just noticed that you can skip the Toyota ads now. Is that in response to the feedback?
brov1holy fuck i cant watch a single video without getting pissed. the old k2 adds were at least entertaining but these toyota ads are just long and annoying and unrelated to what this sight is all about. who the fuck on ns is in the market for a new toyota of all cars. if anything i just hate toyota 1000 times more than before these ads. i have stopped watching videos because of this. fuck these ads.

NH_OPERATORUnless people want to start donating vast sums of money every year to NS to keep the lights on, people need to stop bitching about the ads. This is what funds the website and thats its. Would you prefer that once a year NS slams you with ads and threads and posts begging for money because if they dont get it the site will shut down? I certainly wouldn't want that.
cultraraI don't have a problem with ads, I have a problem with bad advertisements. The Toyota ones were cool at first, but they are much too long, and since they play on every vid, they have become quite boring.
A well made ad wouldn't have this problem. If only there was someone who could create short and funny ads that NS'rs would enjoy watching.
.Rybak.Keep going.....
cultraraIf only there was someone who understood freeskiing culture and could use that understanding to make an enjoyable ad.
The ads should be short and funny, like the ones Bloom has posted on FB: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=774142109303617ompanies thats want to advertise on NS could contact this person and have him make an ad that the community would appreciate. An ad that NS'rs would enjoy watching would benefit both the advertiser and the audience.
