Now that I'm on VL, I noticed that I wasn't seeing any ads but I did see some placeholder sections on the various VL pages. As a VL user and caster, I decided to take a small chance and turn off ABP for the vaughnlive.tv domain. Now that I see their ads, I don't consider them to be over-the-line at all. They are just normal, well-behaved display ads.
I urge everyone that uses ABP or similar to turn it OFF for Vaughnlive. They are doing ads the right way. They should be rewarded for that.
