★★★★★Dec 30, 2025

Nichts über die Daycare story?

★★★★★Dec 20, 2025

seit einiger Zeit wird man, selbst als Abonnent, mit Werbung buchstäblich überflutet. nach einer Seite Text kommt eine Seite Werbung, das ist für mich als Abonnenten nicht mehr akzeptabel. Dazu kommt dass alle Werbung jetzt Video ist, und damit (natürlich bewusst) super agressiv ist. In einem textbasierten Medium Videos für Werbung zu verwenden ist für mich ein Kategorienfehler. Echt bedauerlich. leider habe ich ein Jahresabo, kann also noch nicht kündigen.
