The full page ads every other click are really annoying. There has to be a better solution.

Are they somewhat annoying? Yes, but I usually don't complain much when I'm getting something for free. But hey, we're all different and that brings variety to our lives.

Every time I turn them off, Google takes it upon themselves to change things up and re-enable them.
I dislike them as well, and as long as the ads continue to earn enough to cover costs without those interstitial full page ads, I'm all for making them go away.. .if I can. I have not, yet, looked into whether or not I can disable them again after their latest change.

All I seem to get is Chinese TEMU ads. Loads of them.

aaaannnnnnd, that's what I'm getting ads for now, too, lol

Well just don't stand there hurry up and buy a pair of their shoes for $1.98

You're being hosed GM - you should get at least 3 pairs of shoes for $1.98

How much does it take to run this site each year?

The datacenter costs are really quite good at $105/mo (before taxes and junk). The Google ads average earning around $120-$150/mo these days (it was significantly higher like 10 years ago)... so, pre-tax, it currently covers things every month.

That's fantastic!

these should be gone, now.

Thank you!

Doesn't bother me at all... I can live with a few ads for a wonderful free website. No Problem at all.
