I let my subscription to DA lapse this year. This is because DA insists on sending advertisements to subscribers and that makes me wonder why am I even paying? I can block the ads just as easily without subscribing.

so far I haven't noticed any difference, except that I had to do some creative blocking of their right-side ads.

A lot of the ads aren't blocked with Adblocker plus for whatever reasons. I think part of it is because the DA designers made it so it's difficult to specify the elements that have the ads in them. So I use an addon that allows you to edit the css on any website as you view it (styler for firefox, stylebot for chrome). So the following is the custom css I've put in to block some of the more annoying ads on DA:

#zoomed-in {
background: #131313;
padding: 40px 0;
}

#overhead-promo {
display: none
;
}

#overhead-promo-dual {
display: none;
}

table.full td.f:nth-child(3) {
visibility: hidden;
}


That last one blocks the right bar ads which show up sometimes. It's really hard to get rid of because it's class is linked to a bunch of others, thats why you can't block it in AdBlock. So far I can make it so it's content is hidden, but i can't remove it altogether. Which means when browsing there is a big empty space on the right... still, better then ads, and not work spending $30 just so there is no empty space on the right. :D

I wonder how much of the premium content I can just code myself and have it work just for me? haha.
