They’ll like.lock down your browser and tell you that the government is watching your IP and to get off the watch list All You Have To Do Is Click This Official Government Link. And it really doesn’t help that pop-ups and malware have a evolved past the “You just won a trip to Hawaii! Just enter your social security number” shit.
#SIMS 3 URBAN CC HAIRSTYLES DOWNLOAD#
The amount of times that I had to come in with tech-support because my little sister was clicking on roblox shit that she shouldn’t have or my mom clicked the fake download button when she was using a YouTube to MP3 converter is absolutely jarring.
My little sister is 15 and my mom is 53 and they get the most usage out of our family computer, an old iMac. but there are better and safer options that don’t put people at risk, like ko-fi, patreon, or even a paypal donate button.

Yes there should be options to enable people to support your work, if that’s what you want! a lot of work goes into making cc and mods and if people want to support you they should be given the option to do so. i didn’t know shit about online security until i was at least 12, and i played the sims that whole time! if i knew about cc back then (which essentially in a kid’s head, is just stuff that Makes Your Game Pretty) i would’ve gone ham online downloading everything i could find! and i probably would’ve clicked on suspicious adfly links! and i probably would’ve done some serious harm to my family computer, or been exposed to nsfw content that kids really should not be exposed to! I started playing the sims when i was like 5 years old, and i didnt know SHIT about online security back then. Something that boggles my mind about creators STILL using adfly despite most of the community being against it is that it shows that they either don’t have the self awareness to think about the children that click on their dl links, or they just don’t care? like yes a lot of the adults and older teens and people who have been online for a while know not to click on sketchy links, to have adblock installed, etc but young children probably don’t know that. I’m not going to say which creator I was downloading out of respect for their privacy, and I don’t want the hate. I want everyone of them to know that this happened. Please reblog this so creators who use adfly can see this. I don’t really know what I’m going to do about my phone bill or government debt repayments now. At least that site is safe and we get the CHOICE of supporting you!įor now, my card has been cancelled,my computer is checking for malware, and my account is overdrawn. If you create great, original content, then I have no problems with Patreon. But come on, how much money do you creators actually get from ADFLY?ĭo you really feel that creating content for a game you love is only worthwhile if you get paid for it? You probably started out doing it for fun and as a hobby, where along the line did you feel it necessary to lock your CC up, only available to those who jump through dangerous hoops to give you a few cents for it?Īt least give us the option, give us one adfly-free link too!
Yes, it is equal parts my own fault, for giving in and downloading that cc I really wanted, for disabling my adblocker to get through it easier. There is literally no other place I go on the internet that would raise any concern to me EXCEPT ADFLY.
Literally mere hours later, my card details were used to buy shit, fucking me, someone who barely earns $10 an hour ($7USD) out of almost $100 (And I’m going to lose more due to overdrawn fees). Numerous fucking adfly walls later, I was sick of it and decided to turn off my adblocker (I don’t know if this was the cause of what happened) so I could just go through one adfly wall. Yesterday, for the first time in a LONG while, I decided, fuck it, I really want this creators CC, I really like it even though it’s behind TWO OR THREE FUCKING ADFLY WALLS. I am fucking furious and I have every goddamn right to be.
