Did the Ads Recently Change on this Site (New Pop Ups)

I am still seeing a video popup at the bottom of my screen on every page reload. iPhone chrome.

Same.

This is frustrating. It shouldn't show on phones, and I can't replicate it on mine.

OK, do any of you know what (in pixels) the width of your phone display is?

If I've internetted correctly, I'm at 1008 x 2244 pixels.

I continue to get the video pop up using Chrome from an iPhone. It seems to load with every page. It sits on top of the banner ad at the bottom of the page.

I also get the video pop up ad . Chrome. Android.

I'm on a PC, using Chrome. Still get the banner ad across the bottom of the screen on every new page or refresh.

On a smart phone at this point you should not be getting the popup video ad, and the interstitial is no longer active at all. So you must be referring to the single banner at the bottom of the page. I would push back on hyperbole claiming that makes the site 'unusable' (I actively run the site from a smartphone most of the time). Are you seeing additional issues?

Do you plan on cutting back on the bottom of the page banner rate? Popping up every refresh or page change is way too much for my ADHD to handle. The distraction bugs the heck out of me and I have to close down the add before I can read the posts on the page.

I‘m on an iPad with Safari and the loading of the ads seems to cause some lagging and unexpected delays or loss of focus in the message edit field. The site hasn‘t been completely unusable, but it is annoying.

Oh, and the video pop up on the bottom right is intermittently back as well.

Reading the above few posts - is the bottom ad banner a feature now, or is it going to go away?
