Ads aren’t anyone’s favourite thing, but they help us keep TSR running for everyone. Hosting millions of files, images, and daily visitors comes with big operating costs, and advertising is one of the ways we’re able to keep the site accessible to the whole community. If you're curious, you can read more here: How TSR is Funded.
Some people choose VIP for an ad-free experience and extra features, while others prefer to enjoy the site with ads - and both are totally okay. Ads simply help cover the costs for members who don’t use VIP, and they support the platform and our artists behind the scenes.
In 2021, we made a major effort to reduce both the number and the intrusiveness of ads on TSR, and we’ll continue to keep them as minimal and non-disruptive as possible. Your support - whether through VIP or simply allowing those ads - genuinely helps keep the community thriving.
