As far as the content, in addition to what Doug said, we can't selectively only show certain ad types in select forums. I agree that it's not ideal to show political ads outside the specific area, but short of turning that ad type off completely, there's not much we can do. Even if we were to turn it off, there's no guarantee that change would prevent anything remotely political from being shown.
Lastly, we've not really asked anyone to pay for a membership during the pandemic; in fact, we slashed the annual rate in half for over a month. Our revenue is significantly down this year, presumambly due to the pandemic, but we're not trying to recoup that lost money by charging everyone or charging more or anything like that.
