Agree. Not only i don't like the extra page/click; but in general the discovery of products here is too dependant on banners. I know this site gets extra income from the vendors for those banners, but i think users (specially new users) miss a lot because there is no actual promotion on new releases. What takes 1 click in daz to see what's new every day and get an idea of what i'm interested, here requires navigating in the hope something catches your attention. It ends up being tiresome. I do like that i don't need a degree to follow on the offers, that is a huge plus on this store.

While i did express my discontent with all the NFT and how DAZ handle the issue it was not as much as i would have liked because i did not wanted to get all my post removed. Been suffering from that too, sometimes for strong opinions, sometimes for silly things; still not to the point that i'm been pre moderated. Toning it down or using carefully selected words are not the same. As i'm not native english it takes me a little more than normal the express myself, so it certailly is frustrating to elaborate a message and get it removed with a lame excuse. I have been given excuses outside the forum rules and been treated like i was at fault. Or they streech their own rules to the point of ridicule; like having a post removed for "discussing moderator actions" when all i said was to someone that was too close to "crossing a line" to be careful or the post/thread could be removed. In a any case, that moderation abuse that in general is bad but this case with NFTs was beyond reasonable, the price increases on bundles, the lame promos, the deceiving marketing and now the NFTs (including their own privacy policy violation sending mails for 3rd party products/promos) do make me look for alternatives in the store and also the community more seriously. Not because i don't like the community/people there, i don't like how it is moderated and the fact that while being so big DAZ still ignores it so much. Crossing my fingers other sites do not follow DAZ.

I also hate them. I don't understand why they are all over the site, even the commercial parts. It is a comercial site, we already have banners for the vendors/products sold here. I don't mind those, but getting third party ads as if this were an amateur blog or invasive (but free) newspaper were the ads is the actual business is something else. And being a pop up that looks like a virus, much worst.
