If we removed the adverts from The AnswerBank, would you be inclined to donate?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The ads don’t bother me, the mods don’t bother me, any member who I don’t want to engage with, I don’t. I’ve never had any sort of spat with anyone, or had a post removed as far as I can remember.
Perhaps it’s because I’m not an avid user of the site, perhaps I’m just boring. I enjoy it for the bits I enjoy which might sound daft but that’s how it is for me, and I can’t be done with any aggro.
And I’d never pay to use the site, same as any of the others I belong to. I’d just stop using it.

I use Chrome on a laptop and they are tolerable but Chrome on my tablet is terrible, ads over the answer box or latest posts, it's verging on ridiculous.
One tech bit I don't understand, why are a lot of my ads from sites I may have looked at on google away from this site. AB hasn't been paid by them surely, it's just cookie related isn't it?

While I've never been ad-free, it's the size and how they affect my enjoyment of AB. Previously they were mostly discreet horizontal banners. Not an intrusion. Now they are 3x the size, verticle, and in the middle of threads...and they bounce. This is every time I move from page to page. My tablet is at the end of its life and misbehaves in other ways. The ads as they are now contribute to my frustration.
I don't think ads, no ads or donations will make any difference. AB has become somewhere where people just want to post bad news, or to revel in being incensed about something - hopefully to make others equally incensed which might make the poster feel better about themselves. It's depressing. Shame really.
