It seems that scientology ads make quite a frequent appearance. I think many people feel that scientology is a cult that has ensnared many vulnerable victims, even though some big names like Tom Cruise are members.
I wonder if HubPages can request or arrange it so that such ads are not shown.
Am I crying in the wilderness?

Thanks, uninvited.
That reminds me that I can do a filter on my own sites, and I hope that HubPages will do the same for us here.
I think, to be exact, the filter will apply when my adsense code is used - at whatever site. HubPages, and other Hubbers, should also apply a filter to their adsense codes.
Why should hubpages do anything of the sort? I have removed them from my impressions - they can do what they like with their own. If I could be bothered, I would list all the BS religious ads but there is just too much money to be made selling salvation so I suspect it would be a never-ending job. :

Hello! I've seen past discussions on this, but they are from more than a year ago, so I thought I'd see what people think about it now.I've noticed that I make hardly anything on Google AdSense and haven't gotten a payout for several months. I do pretty well on HPAD and am wondering if I will do...

What earns you more, Adsense or the Hubpage Ad Program?I have been reading over some previous questions and answers and I got to wondering which ad program is currently paying better, or is running both best? I know it can vary, but if you have any math to go with it that would be great.Right now...
