I signed up for prime in part because I didn't want the ads any more. But on the front page, there's still one under the Slice ad (one was in favor of Keystone XL, FFS). And on individual articles I still get "From around the web" advertisements of shitty content. Is this happening for anyone else?
Right now on the iPad I'm seeing a Best Buy ad box right underneath the Walmart story. On the front page.
I get ads when using my IPad, but not on my PC. I must say how it really changes the user experience when you go from one to the other.

I am still getting the broken flash content.

Sometimes I do. The first couple of times I thought it was because I wasn't signed in, so I had to double check. Are we supposed to see some ads as Prime members?
I'm not sure, but I think that the ad count for Prime members is greatly reduced, but not completely eliminated.

I hate to say it but I did click on that one...lol...and my GOD I hope some of them sued for malpractice
Yes. There are at least 2 ads on every page, a lot more than that on some.
A related question - does TPM get any revenue from the ads ? Does the revenue increase (to TPM) by my clicking on it ?
I got this one today - I imagine targeting me for the inverse of my browsing history (as someone who needs convincing), not a TPM choice, but I can’t even say I know that for sure. I can ignore it, but if it generates extra revenue for TPM, I’ll click on it just to deprive the advertiser of the cash and send it to TPM - just desserts. But I’d also enjoy taking a bite out of the advertisers budget just for the sake of making them pay a few cents to not convince me of anything…
Anyone aware of the details ?
Don’t know who they have serving adds but typically the publisher and advertiser chose whether they want to do cost-per-click or cost-per-impression. Can’t hurt to click it and cost them some marginal bandwidth and possibly money.
