Why are you letting me turn off advertising here?

wikiHow pays its bills with money we get from advertising. In fact, advertising is our only source of income, since we do not seek or accept financial donations. However, we don't think that ads should be shoved down your throat. If you don't like advertising, you should have the ability to turn it off. And that is why we were the first high traffic website to offer a "hide ads" button.

By clicking "hide ads", we won't show you ads on wikiHow for 24 hours. If you wish to permanently disable advertising on wikiHow, just register an account and login. All it takes is a username and password, and no more ads ever again!

If you like the freedom to remove advertising, please help us achieve our mission by editing or writing here. You can write a new article or edit and improve any existing article.

P.S. Unfortunately, external video providers (e.g., YouTube) show non-removable ads on some of the videos embedded here. We are powerless to remove those ads (but we would, if we could!).
