This is the ads from Google or some other ads providers. We don't control this.
The VLC Torrent Streamer, though, should be just the VLC/bittorent plugin, no?
- bo1024 7y agoHi, first of all I love VLC, but I have to say that if an ad is being served on my website, I would absolutely consider myself responsible for it.

- bo1024 7y ago(Or maybe I misunderstood, and this is an ad on some other page such as google search results.)
- Endy 7y agoIf it's displaying on your site, and cheapening your brand, it's your responsibility to fix it. You allowed the ad to display.
- jbk 7y agoYou realize that you cannot filter all ads from AdSense, right? We already spend > 2 hours per day to clean them.
- jonpurdy 7y agoI've used VLC since around 2001. I always thought of VLC as a powerful media player that you could throw any format at and it'd just play (including subtitle formats, colouring, etc). Not to mention the powerful filtering and network options. I've also been blocking ads since the same time and I would have never seen this ad. It definitely cheapens the brand and strips away some of the "warm fuzzy" feeling I get when I think "VLC".
