    I don't use Fakebook but someone said there are plenty of complaints on there about a lack of ads at Hideout in recent days. Apparently they've been making some changes, so perhaps they're doing some upgrades or making "improvements" that are affecting the ads.
    Apart from a few hours on Saturday afternoon when they came back, I haven't had any at all at Hideout or Loot for a few days. Hope it's sorted soon.
  • I have just had an email from Hideout TV regarding the videos / ads

    "Thank you as always for your support of Hideout & Sister Sites. As you may have already noticed, we are currently experiencing a period of decreased ad inventory, which as a result has temporarily decreased the amount of points our users are able to earn. From time to time, based on various factors, ad inventory may increase or decrease at any time. Rest assured, we are committed to facing these challenges head on and providing you with the best experience possible. While earnings may temporarily be lower for you, you may still enjoy the great content provided by Hideout’s Content Creators! We will keep you updated as we work through these challenges to provide you with the best video watching experience possible!"

    Thanks to all those that post.

    Shame the email doesn't mention anything about changes or upgrades and puts the issue down to a lack of ad inventory. I think this is perhaps one of the quieter times of the year anyway, but let's hope it soon picks up again.

    It has happened before and it was sorted in a few days. And does anyone actually watch the videos? They just play on my second monitor all day for me :D
