Look, you can be mad all you want. The fact is you don't seem to have the knowledge of how virus protection works. Adfly Skipper and Bypass Stuff do not protect you to get a Backdoor program called Trojan on your PC. Regardless of all safety a Simmer (a child, adult, elder, etc.) pulls off. I'm not mad at you - I used to download your stuff but no longer after I got a trojan on my pc with virus protection, bypass, and skipper and add blocker. And also I deleted it because when I see how you react to this subject and trust me your actions speak louder than words can do. I wonder why should new simmer support you if you pull off such a cold attitude towards those who are unable to support you? You want money for your hard work, right? Understandable, yet there is something you need to understand, too.

Let me explain what can happen if people like you use adfly. Even if you have over 200 patreons, you still pull off this greedy move to keep milking the community. It is greedy and you can excuse all you want. You obviously are money-hungry and don't care about safety at all for others. At least based on what you say that's what you communicate between the lines. Someone who cares would not pull off this move.

Trojans enter your pc without knowledge (even the best virus software can't protect you as soon their heuristic is still brand new and unknown to your virus software) Might get updated but you are never 100% safe. Every virus protection software is telling you this.

Trojans can do massive damage, steal your bank details, remote control your pc (means data loss and you have to reinstall your pc), use your pc for data mining and they can even damage hardware (you' are not going to pay for that sort of damage, right?)

Well, you obviously have a lack of knowledge of what ADFLY can cause. How can you expect a child will have such knowledge? Imagine once such damage is done those parents will yell at that child for downloading your creations. You want to blame others and call them stupid? Obviously, you don't know yourself what you do to the simmers and wow, that's a bold move to say it's their responsibility.

First of all, if you would not be so greedy and provide at least 'early access' and then give it for free. You know what could happen? In the best case? You would probably get with time more supporters? Have you ever thought about that? Successful simmers, don't need adfly and you know this. There are a bunch of examples and proof in our community.

You would make those simmers happy who can't afford to support you and you would not put them in danger. But your supporters who adore and can afford what you do will still support you. That's a win-win for all. Plus you would not come across as mean or nobody would call you names, attack, insult and you would show that you actually do care about the community, their safety, and respect all Simmers (regardless of their private situations) and those who adore your content but cannot afford. With all due respect, it won't hurt you to show empathy. You come across very cold-hearted but I still hope this will may help you and explain why you get so much hate.

Oh, believe me, I know how viruses work. What does adfly skipper have to do with it? I have already said more than once that he will not help you with viruses, if you don’t understand, re-read it. No one needs to know what viruses are. But you must know that they exist in principle and put up protection. Not antivirus, not adfly skipper will not help. Why don't any of you know about basic browser extensions that block ads on websites and remove pop-ups? If you screwed up choosing a defender, try another one. Why have many people figured this out on their own, but you can't? It's pretty darn logical and easy. I wonder how long you will ignore my words about other sites where Trojan and other shit are also easy to catch? Why don't you protest against them? They can also infect you, but you will not be able to find the culprit there, because it is much more difficult than taking up arms on a random creator and shifting all the responsibility and blame onto him. Yes, I want to be rewarded like the rest of the creators, because they spend their personal time on it, because for some it is a real job, not a hobby. Are you so interested in counting other people's money? Go to work at the bank, if so, but don't be bullshit and don't blame those who deserve a little income from their patrons. Why should I also pay for your mistakes? It sounds fucking crazy and funny. It is not necessary here to give examples of people who do not use adfly, it is their choice and it is a pity to advertise for them and blame those who use adfly. Let me condemn you for depriving poor people of content because they cannot subscribe to patreon? After all, of course, they will not subscribe to Patreon, because they cannot. Besides, who's really greedy here is you, because a good half of the community is waiting for the release of early access, instead of somehow supporting it. It's still free, so why spend? And don't say that there are no such people. They were and will always be, and as long as this is so, no one will refuse adfly at your whim. I was considered evil, because this person made a post, distorting my words and urged to pour out the shit by his act. He did it, although he could communicate calmly. BUT, as you can see, he is not interested in conducting a dialogue, as well as for people that they chose not to understand, but simply to take out their anger. I just applaud for this awesomely smart and adult act worthy of their personality.  And why should I explain things so obvious? 🙄

hey oath or verizon or whatever you’re called, literally why do all you companies do this over intrusive privacy defying nonsense in the name of ‘because ads’?

it literally does not work. why are you wasting your money.

literally every time i see any form of forced internet ad, all i feel is ‘wow that company is desperate and probably shady’. I can count on one hand the number of times in my life that i have actually been interested in a single ad. And the shitty reputation of these modern advertizing techniques still sours my impression of whatever’s in the ad. The closest you’ve ever got to making a sale is “oh man that thing looks interesting, but if it’s in an obnoxious advert forcing its way into youtube/android/tumblr/etc it’s probably complete shit, even if it doesn’t look like it”

all you have achieved is turning people off your stuff by getting a reputation of being full of malware OR EVEN WORSE gross personal information stealing nonsense. I don’t even let my eyes linger for a split second on your shit. All you’ve done is provide great business for ad blocker software.

so why does this shit just keep INCREASING when it DOESNT WORK

i fucking miss the days of obnoxious banner ads! I miss when the biggest consequence was getting a virus! i bought more of your actual goddamn products back when i could use my computer/mobile/every damn device without this shit lag and fear some random stranger is creeping on my browsing history

also your ‘predictive software’ has been proven to be completely innacurate and has never got better no matter how much you whine PLZ LET US LOOK AT MORE OF YOUR PERSONAL FILES U GUYS all its achieved is peppering my tumblr dash with gross n/s/f/w pictures i never consented to, or ‘lol kek triggered compliation’ bullshit because somehow having social justice blogs in my browser history means i must want to see anti social justice blogs THATS HOW SHIT YOU ARE! you’re not gonna get better results by stealing more data if this is how your shitty program works with the stuff you already have! all you’re doing is making people enjoy using your site less. and thats reall an understatement because receiving hardcore gore or naked ladies on my dash as a random jumpscare once a month is a little beyond ‘not enjoyable’ and edging into ‘actively traumatizing, thanks’ seriously i can only imagine how many people might have actually got into trouble at their job cos they blocked n/s/f/w tags yet still got some fuckin ‘reccommended content’ of something like that... and seriously that one fucking gif of a slab of meat rotating and slapping an iphone keeps appearing everywhere and I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THAT IS OR WHY IT WON’T LEAVE. That and the fucking horse dildo! I’ve never reblogged anything even tangeantally related to these things and they’ve haunted my ‘reccommendations’ for A WHOLE YEAR!

jesus christ at this point you’d get more positive press if you said you were gonna be the only people on earth NOT stealing people’s private data to ‘reccommend’ bullshit at them

the only way i can logic out how the fuck this has happened is that advertizers are complete idiots and verizon is a greedy fuck who keeps signing contracts with as many people as possible even when they know these ads don’t work. but why the fuck do these companies keep buying those ads... do you have any PR management at all...

fruckin hell the internet is real stupid nowadays
