All the ads are gone from American Thinker

Just went to American Thinker and all the ads are gone. Nice and clean looking instead of the hot mess it usually is. What is going on over there?

They are preparing accordingly for the new Marxist States of America. No advertiser will be “allowed” on anything remotely pro Trump and conservative. The great reset and purge is upon us.

AT had an article on their Comments shut-off that was patronizing, condescending, and evasive.

I've found AT to not be worth the time of day, battling GP as the worst in "conservative" new media. That doesn't mean I thought they were worth shutting down...just sloppy.

The real question is, why is AT (which isn't nearly as widely-reposted as GP) being targeted first? Are they the soft-target before GP, like Parler was before Gab?

I would imagine demonitized by google analytics.

I guess their apology didn’t work.

I have my ad blocker off and there are zero ads - told it to block ads and it says there’s zero elements to block.

For me, there have been fewer pop-up adds the last several days.

Looks like Google demonetized them.

They are on their knees begging for Dominion not to sue them.

Sad days these but they did add clickbait QAnon grifter stories, so bad mojo.

Social media is trying to eliminate our civil rights. The cancellation of conservatives has reached a boiling point. Not since the civil rights issues of the 1950s and 60s has America faced such a great national crisis.

Our civil rights are being eliminated left and right. Our right to free speech in social media is just about gone. Our rights to a free and honest election: gone. What about our civil rights to an honest and truthful education. Gone and gone.

I repeat our civil rights are under attack. History teaches us that nonviolent protests are effective, but they are not the only answer. Most of us were alive in the 50s and 60s when we saw that societal changes did not occur without violence. Be forewarned and forearmed.

Still plenty of marketing/adware tech installed or used behind the scenes. No shortage of google tech either; https://builtwith.com/?https%3a%2f%2fwww.americanthinker.com%2f

builtwith.com shows the technologies behind a website

"What is happening at AT?"

Who cares?
After it crawled mewling on its knees for forgiveness, it is experiencing all the bad things a yellow rag deserves...

I wonder when the book burning begins in earnest, and will anybody on the left bat an eye when it does?

A lot of websites make most of their money by ads. Google can cut off their income by eliminating the ads as they tend to run them. Wonder is this is what is happening or perhaps some other glitch on their website.

Only from the front page where they made the site look cheap. It’s likely an editorial decision and if so, the right one.

Well they did that to ZeroHedge and threatened Federalist last year over things written in their COMMENT sections.

Not the editorials...the comment sections.

It could be. But GAB owns its platform whereas Parlor was hosted on one of Big Tech’s platforms. It seems to me that anyone who has a blog or website hosted on one of Big Tech’s platforms could very well be deplatformed.

There are ads on the individual stories, but not on the home page. I don’t know if that’s normal because I don’t go there often.

Getting strong armed by the forces of evil."

Exactly, they were forced to admit dominion machines did not switch votes, etc.

I see the site a mostly milquetoast conservative so to me this means they might have been a test case for the commies before they launch a full scale assault.

I agree with you but the 50's and 60's were a picnic compared to what we have going on now. We are being attacked by communists hell bent on imposing hard core tyranny.

I will add that the second biden is sworn in as an illegitimate executive America as we know it ceases to exist. America dies at that moment.
