I’m a straight guy, and I don’t feel that I’m particularly sexist by admitting that. I *like* the “large breasted women in t-shirts ads”. Looking at the site, it happened to be some sort of replacement for a rear differential (car parts). I wasn’t familiar with the product pictured (the “non-babe” part of the ad), and I thought it looked like a fancy camp stove. I saw an ad of that type on another site. Some people are put off by blatent ‘sex-sells’ ads (Regardless of whether or not they enjoy the basic content.) I dislike misleading ads, and the sex-sells type can be some of the worst.

ADBLOCK ULTIMATE WHITELIST PLUS
If you are using Adblock Plus for Chrome there will be a red octagon with ABP on it to the right side of the address line on your browser. This is very simple, and after the break I’ve included the instructions for doing so with Adblock Plus. Please throw us a bone by adding our domain to your “whitelist”. If you haven’t been blocking, thank you! If you do use an Ad blocker, I certainly understand that you want to get away from ads that automatically play audio, flash annoying colors, or include inappropriate content. There is some cost involved in do this, which we cover by including advertisements on our pages. These are the best engineering-oriented hacks the web has to offer.
Hackaday highlights a steady stream of project features every single day. If you find the ads to be otherwise, please do let us know about it (screenshots are helpful!). The ads are in the exact same places as they have always been, at the same size, with the core belief that on-page advertising should be entirely unobtrusive. These include the manufacturers: Atmel, Microchip, NXP, and Texas Instruments as well as distributors: Arrow Electronics, Element 14, Mouser, and RS Components. The plan to transition to advertisements which are more targeted for our interests was mentioned back in July, when Hackaday was purchased by SupplyFrame, I say ‘our’ interests because the companies who have signed up so far are ones with which I have personally done business when hacking my own projects.
If you didn’t know we run ads, I’m asking you to consider whitelisting in your advertisement blocking browser plugin. If you’ve been watching very closely you may have noticed that our ads have changed.
