I disable it.
Bad idea. If you lose members, revenue will drop anyway.

Well, it's a little bit more complicated than that. )
First of all I show ads for guests only. So "If you lose members..." doesn't apply in this case.
Second - my forum is 10 years old, and most of the traffic comes from google to old old threads, that members don't visit for years.
Also 80% of my traffic - those guests from google, that lands once and never return again.
So my members and threads they discuss, and guests from google - two different universes.
Well my offer above still stands:

Google AdSense Auto Ads
Honestly, I have never seen that. Bizarre. Do you also get it with the XF default theme?

I ended up killing off auto ads, they were like weeds, popping up everywhere.
They've distort certain things but worst of all, they seemed to love inserting them in quoted parts of messages, so the "quote" was nothing but an ad. Got a lot of member complaints on that, and finally pulled them, even though it meant a hit on my (way too small) revenue.

How much of a difference are we talking about? I have never tried auto ads and it seems like i am missing out especially with covid19, earnings have taken a huge hit (20-25%).
Auto Ads will increase the number of ads on a page and change the size and types of those ads. Depending on your settings, they can look butt ugly on a forum but you will make more money.
I have found that a couple of things can mitigate the ugly factor though:

I have found that a couple of things can mitigate the ugly factor though:
- before you enable auto ads, first set up some regular ads in locations you don't want Auto Ads to mess with and leave those running for a few days until the ads are appearing fairly regularly
- for example, I don't want to see ginormous rectangular or square ads right at the top below the navigation bar or top breadcrumbs, so I set a responsive banner which is less obnoxious for that location.
- I'm not sure if this will always be true but at least until recently AutoAds was not inserting their ads in locations already occupied by regular ads, so that's a way to protect that location
Unmaintained - How to limit the size of Google AutoAds on your forum: No longer works
First, if you already have ads in certain positions on a page, AutoAds will not overwrite those positions. You can use the feature described below to keep your ads responsive and still limit the size of the AdSense ads, with or without AutoAds...

If you're wanting to apply Adsense Auto Ads by usergroup (eg. Auto Ads to Visitors, defined Ad Units to Registered), is it as simple as applying a usergroup conditional around the <head> code? It's slightly different between Auto Ads and Ad Units, thus why I ask.
Eg.
If is Visitor
Auto Ads head code
else
Unit Ads head code.

Does anyone know how to enable/disable auto ads by user group?
That is not possible.
