Dear X People;

Over the years, I’ve purchased over a dozen copies of your theme, have rolled out some amazing sites, and highly recommend your product to my client base.

And well, maybe you don’t realize it, but perhaps you’d like to tell me why your advertising on Breitbart (the fake news network). Breitbart is a toxic mix of lies, white-supremacist content, and bullying that can inspire attacks on Muslims, gay people, women, African-Americans and others, and home to such wonderful stories like “Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy.”

Kindly let me know when you plan to pull your advertising there, so I can go back to recommending your wonderful product line.

Thanks

Chaz

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in.

What I know about the google ads or advertising is that specific kind of ads will be generated to specific desktop or computers. Usually, the ads is based on what the user frequently browse or search or visit.

As I also checked the image, it is not an ads of ours. Usually, our ads shows our logo X or and brand of us. It is general ads for all the best themes in wordpress for 2016 of a certain theme store. Not for X theme only.

Thank you so much for understanding. If still this worry you of recommending us, feel free to let us know, I will forward this thread to our marketing team so that they could give action to this.

Thanks.

Here’s a link to the live advert.

Like so.

Look at the bottom … Here’s a user comment on that page.

Unless President Trump reverses Clinton’s repeal of the Act, or enforces the US Constitution by executing insurrectionists (rioting, terrorism), then We the People can legally REVOLT against the “outlaws” to take back our Republic, but there will be hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people slaughtered. Fortunately, the Clintons did not succeed in their rigging of the election again, but the communists are in full control until President Trump is employed and enforces the Rule of Law against the communists, and that might mean biometrics until every single communist has been deported, exiled, and executed.

Hi there,

Thanks for providing the URL, but I don’t see similar ads on my end. Ads are based on the data or site you frequently visit. It is because of your interaction with other sites. If you frequently visit a specific site or a category related site, then it will display related ads based on site you mostly visits. In short, it’s you as the user, the reason why it’s appearing there.

For example, if you constantly visiting ThemeForest themes, theme developers, or even our site, then ADS will generate specific ADS that they think popular on your view. And it could be our theme, or other developer’s theme.

It’s google ads, and google ads are implemented mostly in every site, can be hundreds and thousands. If you visit another site but ads are served by google too, then you’ll probably be going to see the same ads even if those sites aren’t related, because it’s based on your action recorded by google.

Attached is the screenshot of what I’m seeing on my end. My mother and sister like to watch movies in HOOQ.TV ( every night ) and since we share the same internet most of the time, then google thinks they should display HOOQ ads which are local to my country.

And please note that site owner can place multiple and different ADS provider which could contain unfavorable ads that aren’t related to other ADS.

Thanks!

Dear X;

As you are most likely outside the US, Google Adwords would be serving up a different set of advertisers during your visit, hence why we have two different experiences.

That’s moot and does not chance the fact Theme.co’s advertising (via Adwords) supports Breitbart, a website that deals in hateful, racist, misogynistic rhetoric.

When confronted and made aware, you could have easily blocked (blacklisted) Breitbart on your Adwords account, but you choose not to — that is certainly your right to provide financing for such drivel, and perhaps in itself lends an insight into your corporate ethos. Then again, it is my right to no longer do business with your company and to spread the word of your choice.

That’s the freedom of expression in action.

I will say, don’t be surprised when you hear about this again from others.

Best to you.

Hi Chaz,

We are sorry you have this impression but as Rad mentioned the advertisement will appear according to YOUR behavior on the internet.

I am not aware of this website I simply never visited it, and if it bothers you I do reccomend you to not visit also, unfortunately the internet is full of fake news websites. You are probably one of a few or maybe the only one who actually would see X There, Once you stop accessing X Theme / WordPress / related material you will see if you keep accessing this website advertisement about something else that you are interested about.

If you are willing to fight against this website I believe you should contact Google Adwords, X Theme do not support what so ever any specific website of this nature, this is a unfortunate erroneous conclusion.

Let us know if you have further questions,

Joao

[Chaz S]

So noted, have a good day.

[Jade]

Have a good day too, Chaz.
