Every time I arrive on the site, half my screen is filled with stuff about Pregnancy.
I'm 52
one of my kids is at University, the other soon will be
PLEASE
make a way for me to hide stuff that most definitely does not "interest me"

Every time I try to go to "threads I'm on"

Could there not at least be the option to click "no thankyou" and get rid of them.

as a week by week pregnancy calendar is NOT in my plans at the moment Grin

Hah yes. This may also interest you:
Parenting tricks
Mumsnet PG calendar guide* ("congratulations, you're pregnant" bla bla bla)
12 unexpected ways life changes once you have children
PG does and donts
Best short haul hols with babies and toddlers

Nope none of those interest me what with being a post meno woman with a small fistful of teenagers.

*this one isn't very kind, actually. Be mindful of those whose journey to parenthood is not easy. Thank you.

I have this as well. 6 adverts of utterly no interest at all, 5 of which are mumsnet content.

I treat it like monster sending me driving job opportunities when I couldn't actually drive apparently it was based on my interests 🤔

But surely we all get these 'this may interest you' ads? None of them are my cup of tea either, but they're hardly the end of the world

Look at the bottom right hand corner of my screenshot, it looks as though a separate site is powering this ads, although MN will have sold that advertising space to the other site.

Hi TalkinPeace,

Thanks so much for flagging this one to us. We appreciate the feedback and will pass your comments over to the relevant teams (sounds like adverts and content are the issue here).

If you could upload a screenshot just so we definitely send it to the right place, that'd be really useful.
