Why do we have ads on here for Hydrogen boosters?

I think its been brought up before but why do we have ads on here for Hydrogen mileage boosters?

Is there a way we can block Scam adds or complain to the Ad service that we don't like supporting scams?

theres 2 ways you can stop this.
1) donate to em deletes all ads
or
2) download an ad blocker on your computer it removes all the ads on ecomodder

Reason for them helps keep the site free

I have no problem with reputable ads. Just Scam adds.

what ads are real? most ads are 90+% marketing = 90% disinformation = lies. the other 10% might have truth in it, or not.

ad block plus = I have seen no ads on my computer in over 6 years

Going to the site was at least worth a good laugh

"it uses the residual unused energy from your alternator"

"only 50% of the fuel is burned, the rest is wasted out the exaust"

Does this site get payed per click, or just to display the ads?

It's just sad the miss-information and scammers.

I've made and run a car on hho two times by 2 methods:
1- lots of kitchen alluminium foils rolled up separated by kitchen paper; awsome super efficient hho cell generator! When i see those small scam gadgets producing small hho it makes me laugh...
2- plasma arc carbon rods
3-(never tryed on car due to side effects) - quimical production.

Conclusions:
1- lots of trouble, work, weight/space on car, alluminium corrosion after 100km... Extra batteries... alluminium replacement price against gas price not bad but... NOT WORTH IT.
2- with the power needed, might as well running an all EV.
3- the engine would corrode and also my lungs at least...

Well, here's my testemonium!
Regards!

All ads pay fees. If we had to have no snake oil ads, then there wouldn't be many at all...

The ads in question are "pay per click".

I've seen some pretty dumb ones too. Sometimes I joke that the ads on the site are IQ tests!

If they really bother you, send me the URL of the site being advertised - I can add them to a block list. A few years ago, I used to try to keep ahead of the obvious scammers by blocking them, but I gave up after a while because they often run under multiple domain names and kept popping up regardless of what I did.

I sometimes click on them, so they wind up paying to suport the site.
