Hello peeps!
Recently, Babypips has been allowing these weird, slightly dubious third-party ads:
I am all for Babypips showing advertisements of legitimate products for traders
within the forum spaces, but I am not sure I understand this latest strategy…
I also find the pictures of objectified women within these ads quite s e x i s t …The main
issue, however, is that they are a trap for ‘green’ users who get sucked into the get-quick-rich myth.
It is no big deal, perhaps, however would someone from the admin/FX-(Wo)Men team like
to comment? What do the forum users think of this?
We all know that ‘it is a free world’, and advertising pays, but it feels like a cheapening of the
whole concept of keeping the forums free from misleading materials, which is a BabyPips strength.
Not a criticism - I would not dare - but certainly a personal reflection.
Thank you for listening.
Happy Trading.
Hi PMH,
I agree basically with you, I have those ads quite long, not sure when you saw them first. I also agree, BP (just like any other companies) has to earn money somehow, but the ads are maybe not the best with the mentality of the site.
However I do believe you might just be better off with your question if you write an email to the administrator then posting it here.
If you know something, share it with us

Hi FE, yes, you have a point, I will e.mail it to them directly too… Good suggestion.
