WHAT is up with all the pop up ads when accessing site by phone???

I get it. The site needs to make revenue, but the pop up ads on here lately are constant and oppressive. It certainly doesn't make me want to run out and buy a ticket for The Book of Mormon every time that dancing queen pops up while I'm in the middle of reading or posting. I've already had that ad pop up five times tonight and I've only been in here for 20 minutes. Lately it's either that one or that stupid pie commercial from Waitress running on a freaking loop. Anyone else getting bombarded with the pop ups? Sorry. Vent is now over.

It's through the app and has been pretty oppressive for about the past two months. They are video ads and they are popping up like every five minutes.

On mobile, I only get one per page, and once I close it, nothing pops back up again -- thank goodness!

Yes, this. Heavy sigh.

If you wait a while before starting to scroll it pops up when you're still on top and you can avoid being taken back up, but I hardly ever remember...

I only get pop up adds twice a month, I almost never access the site through the desktop site or the app, only the mobile site.


I appoligise for any spelling mistakes. I may be on my mobile. Clumsy fingers and small little touchscreen keys don't mixx. I try to spellcheck, but I may miss something.

This happens to me and I'm on a desktop. It's frustrating.

Me too. I can deal when happens when I first get here and it happens once. But when it reoccurs it's annoying. Sometimes I am typing a post and it happens while I'm typing. And then it goes back to the top and I lost whatever I wrote already. Sometimes I have the patience to retype but sometimes I just leave.
