Domains are cheap, don't serve content on an ad domain maybe? Sounds like perhaps your task was to ensure a company's ads got through an adblocker?

- __jonas 2y agoYou could be right but you are definitely jumping to a conclusion here. The default lists used by uBlock for example include things like error tracking telemetry, Sentry for example. I can see why people want to block that stuff (privacy) but it’s not exactly an “ad”
- kmlx 2y agomy task was to rectify an issue in one of these crowd sourced lists of ad servers. they were blocking a whole domain instead of blocking the ad-serving subdomain. the issue was rectified, the main domain was replaced by the ad-serving subdomain.
- hathawsh 2y agoStill, as pbhjpbhj suggested, if I were publishing both content and ads, I would consider publishing the ads on a different domain (not just a subdomain) to reduce technical issues. Domains with ugly names are very cheap.
- kmlx 2y agoof course, and this is a valid proposal. but that was outside the remit.
