As a user, I feel manipulated. I don't trust the content any more which is not properly limited from the ads. My point is not even about adblockers or ads in general, it is just that I don't want to consume a text which does not even hide its intention to manipulate me.
However I admit that the flagging and placement of advertising is probably a matter of taste.
1. not sure what trust is required of you for content which is a gradient in the shape of an egg.
2. would you be more comfortable with ads that hid their intention to 'manipulate' you?
3. the word manipulate is pretty loaded, really they're pretty straightforward about trying to sell you something
Extending this to integrated advertising in movies - I'd rather see a character driving a Ford truck or drinking a can of coke than see an extra 15-30 seconds at the start of the movie watching an ad.
You should increase the surface area of your <a> tags in the ads. Ideally they would cover the whole card and the egg, too. Also, consider adding a hover effect and a "pointer" cursor. I was trying to click your ads and I couldn't figure out how to!
however there are two 'bugs': Blank Printer Fat Cat
* War Crime
* Tinder Photo
* Fear of Swedish
... These gradients always remind me of their website
Stripe's API
It was one of the things that made them.
“Stars and Stripe checkout”?
Cynicism doesn’t have an agenda, but some agendas are cynical.
Or is that how it works now? You have to think only happy thoughts, or someone polarizes your agenda for you?
I will add it to the interface as soon as possible.
What I should have said, is that I'm a little disheartened that this is getting the attention that I would prefer go to a site like uigradients with better UX and a less divisive tone.
Love the website, exceptionally clean and well designed.
I usually know in general what color scheme I want when building something, but need to search online to find the exact colors that look good.
All the websites go for that now. I see a lot of hipstery designer stuff with that look. Vaporwave / aesthetic whatever. It's all magenta and turquoise.
So dull.
Your names for the color combos are worse than urban decay eyeshadows.
