If they keep it up, you might need to get a rolled up newspaper, or rub their noses in something.

The internet is based on that principle. If we ever stopped doing that, civilization as we know it would collapse, a depression would start as internet and media companies disappeared and we'd all be reduced to going outside and smelling the flowers.
I like smelling flowers.
What, you mean freaking out over nothing and taking it out on whoever happens to be available?
I would say that actually is a pretty fair description of first world civilization, filled as it is with self entitled little weenies who can't handle their own emotions.
Oh now, I'm sure mother nature isn't growing the flowers to your satisfaction either.
Maybe go scream at her for a while.
Didn't you take a vow of verbal celibacy when you joined Staff? I thought you had left behind sarcasm and the use of pointed sticks just like priests take a vow - oh wait, bad comparison.
The matter is not about what we paid. I honestly do not even remember how much it was. And I do not really care about that money.
The question is about principle. If X advertises that if Y pays Z then Y will never see ads, and then Y sees ads, then X simply cheated. or lied. Or is culpable of false advertisement. It simply sold goods it did not have.

Poll the members!
Which is more irritating?
- Intrusive adds.
- Whining about adds?
- The pathetic new "Like" options?
4. Mis-spelling "ads".
Thank you for your generosity,
setting me up for that opportunity
to be a big jerk.
4, Stupid miss the point polls.
It's a joke!
Even he, a cranky old codger, has a sense of humor....now & then.
Curmudgeon power!
My point? That the new ones have questionable principles, too.

Because . . . ?
And of course the only explanation for that is that the owners have questionable principles.
Because, again, we all know there's no such thing as software glitches, disturbances during upgrades, etc.
The only possible explanation is eeeevil.
And even if it winds up staying that way for you: as I explained earlier if you bought your premium membership from the previous owners, IMO the current owners don't owe you anything.
I'm sure you have a different opinion but I'm sure your opinion is based on something other than your sense of fairness.
Now also as I explained (because what's more fun than explaining things to people with their fingers in their ears going "la la I'm not listening"?), for all we know the current owners may be planning on letting you keep your premium membership in spite of the fact that you bought it from the previous owners.
You should realize if they decide to do that it isn't an obligation, it's an act of charity.
And personally, if I was in their shoes, reading some of the post in this thread I would be thinking, "Why should I do them any favors? They obviously won't appreciate it, they'll just act like they had it coming'.
Why should a bunch of strangers give you something for free that they don't owe you?

What do I have to do if I want to see more ads?
I'm a bit disappointed that they're only at the top and bottom of the page.
Also, they're clear misses. Nothing yet that interests me.

Because we're special and never, never opt for grievance over gratitude.
At my age and in my condition I always go after the low hanging fruit.
