EDIT: Just so you guys know I was able to get Adblock installed (not AdBlock Plus) and it seems to work for everything right now except YouTube. Yeah, apparently Google paid Adblock to not block their ads. Yet another reason why YouTube is one of the worst websites ever....
I don't get what the problem is. I used to run ABP on my Mac and it was working fine and then one fateful day I started noticing YouTube ads playing again when I start videos. Another problem I have is that whenever i visit one of those sites where you can see cartoon episodes online like watchcartoonsonline.com or something, I get these stupid ads that pop up. I can click out of those but I'm afraid to even use said sites anymore because I also get a box that appears that says my computer has a virus or it has porn and that if I click OK it will remove it which is the only button I CAN click to begin with (like I would fall for that, so I just press the power button and shut down and thankfully there really is no threat). If any of you guys get something like that, do NOT ever click OK, that is probably what will give you an actual virus.
I have installed ABP dozens more times to see if it will reinstall and nothing happens. YouTube still runs it's stupid annoying ads, Tumblr has some sponsored posts and recommended blogs appearing in my feed, and Twitter is doing the same too. Thankfully here on DA I don't need to worry about ads cuz I get premium memberships from really kind people who just give me one whenever I'm about to run out so this site is practically the only place I don't have to worry about ads. I just wish there didn't have to be ads on the internet period. We've had way too many people get viruses from them and it should be enough to tell site managers that these ads either need to go or should be monitored more carefully so they don't have harmful software attached. I promise that if I ever make a website of my own, I will NEVER allow ads on there, I'll just be smart like the guy who made Wikipedia and get revenue through donations or something instead.
Anyways, my question to you guys is do you know why ABP isn't working for me? I'm running Safari just so you know and like I said, I've tried reinstalling it several times and its' not working. I could be doing something wrong. If ABP is outdated now or something, at least tell me if there's any good software that can block ads pretty well cuz I dont' know how much longer I can deal with this crap...

FHS/MLSiaD Q and A April 2024
Now for the answers to the latest Q&A: MLPFollower from FIMfiction asks: Exactly how many seasons of both Flurry Heart’s Story and My Little Sister is a Dragon are there going to be? 9 like Friendship is Magic, more, or less? There most likely won’t be that many seasons with FHS, but know knows. With MLSiaD, it’s more like a mini-series with one season. The first two episodes/arcs have been longer: about 10 chapters but some in the future could be shorter (or longer) and right now I’m looking to around 12-13ish episodes in total. MLPFollower from FIMfiction asks: Any characters from G1-3 you’re thinking of adding in to the stories? I’ve already revealed that the bushwoolies and Princess Porcina are coming up, but I could use more. I’m not going to say who or what exactly I have in mind right now as it could all change. MLPFollower from FIMfiction asks: Who do you plan to be the final main villain in the series finale(s) and why? I think I’ve kind of already made it obvious who
New part-time job!
I interviewed yesterday and was hired right away! I'm going to be doing some packing, sorting and delivering for a local newspaper company that an old friend of mine from school owns. Only definite work days will be Thursdays and possibly earlier in the week. I won't get a whole lot of hours out of it so I'm still looking for another part time job or perhaps a full one if the benefits and rates are good. My current commission list has 10 slots full, but I'm going to still let my page say I'm opened in case anyone else wants to get a slot later. Those commissions obviously have yet to be started, but thank you to everyone who sent a message and I'll get the WIP sketches done for you soon.

Why I'm jobless and how you can help
I should've been forthcoming about this much sooner, but honestly I didn't know what to say as I figured things would've turned up by now. Well they haven't and I might as well tell you guys the truth. As the title admits, yes, I do not have a job and it's been that way for the past 6 weeks. Before we talk about that, let's go back to November of last year. Some of you might have seen when I made this status update: https://www.deviantart.com/aleximusprime/status-update/Sorry-if-I-scared-you-995107195 Well that got me to leave my job for one month because I was able to go back on December 19th when that asshole left for shoulder surgery. I returned to work and things were fine for the next 2 months, but then it got worse when he returned in late February. To understand this situation, I have to explain the manager. He has been a lifelong friend of my dad's and our family has good relations with his family, but his biggest weakness is he's too nice. He runs a decent business

I use fair Adblock. It seems to work fine and you don't get that orange banner thing. You get to block ads and support a cause at the same time.
