@rene I've got something to cheer you up! Did you know scientists discovered a flower, and if you sit underneath it for 15 minutes, you're not likely to survive?
IIRC is there something like: low rep users (or users who're logged out) are shown community ads (on the sidebar) more often? These days I hardly see those ads on the sites I SE visit. Has there been any change made to the frequency at which ads are displayed?
