Boycott BGA premium membership?

I have been a BGA premium member for I believe four years. Recently I decided not to renew for a few months because I had a lot of work to do, thought better reduce playing a bit. Now, they are pestering me with 'please renew' notices. It's not just 'please renew', but they actually BLOCK MY GAME for 12 seconds or so. Full screen. For multiple games in a row. Repeatedly. I planned to renew over the holidays, but will NOT renew one month for every blocked game, so that's at least another year. Perhaps you should do the same if you are annoyed by the practice? I understand that they need to advertise, but there are better ways of doing it.

That has been around for some years now.

So you mean you are seeing blocking ads because you are not premium ? What is the issue with that ? And what better ways are you thinking of ?

Strange.
I never saw an AD on here while I had a Premium Membership or after my membership ended on another account.
YES. I will be purchasing a Premium Membership on this account shortly.

This perhaps is not going to create the kind of leverage you think it is, but you do you.

You probably never noticed those seconds block before because you were a premium user. That is standard for non premium. It isn't a thing to you because you left it recently.

It really makes me laugh how so many players want 1st CLASS SERVICE for FREE.

No I'm happy to keep supporting BGA. If you don't like it don't use it. They're offering hundreds of games for free so you don't have much reason to complain.
