Random videos of 'Amy' in threads...

As above. Why have videos of 'Amy' and her baby started appearing in every single thread I open? It's very annoying. Am I expected to pay for Premium or something to stop this?! Thanks...

Blimey I’ve just watched the lava cake one out of morbid curiosity! You can’t wean a child on that!!
Yup, the caption definitely says, 'easy weaning recipes: lava cake'!

Every. Fucking. Page.

Ditto

Oh lord, yes, please make Amy go away!

Also - bit concerned about her baby under that duvet. It looks thick and heavy and the child isn’t “foot to foot” (or has that guidance changed now?). Mind you it’s possible the child is actually 2.5 or more and just happens still to need a dummy and a monitor!

Im afraid if she stays...Im going! Horrible distracting videos of stuff which is of no interest to me at all. Spoiling every single thread! Please take it away MNHQ.

Fucksake I've just spent a jolly 45 minutes googling malware trying to get rid of this annoying stuff. Quite glad it isn't me...

MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 21:12

I mean for all we know the lava cake-making lady isn't promoting it for weaning purposes - hard to tell as there's no sound - but the video screenshot preview that I can see definitely says 'weaning lava cake'.

Some of these videos are dated last summer.

It all seems a bit of a shambles, really.

@CeibaTree

I only get this on my iPad when I'm on the web browser, but man is 'Amy' annoying! I have no interest in whatever she is doing. Sorry Amy.
AFAICS, she is making a cake with a huge amount of sugar.

I love sugar. I would die for sugar. In fact, it's quite possible my cause of death will be certified as "sugar".

But if that's meant to be for a baby, I'm a bit confused.

AColdDuncanGoodhew · 22/03/2021 21:11

I use MN on my mobile but via the website, not the app, and can scroll past ads no problem, the sounds don’t play either if anyone can do that until its sorted Smile

If it must stay, please highlight separately from posts so we can see it’s an (irritating) advert.

AcornAutumn · 22/03/2021 21:03

Came on to report this.

I thought I'd been logged out because I've only ever seen this awful moving ad at those times. I thought they were used an incentive to make you log in.

But I am logged in and it won't go away!

AnneTwackie · 22/03/2021 20:50

I just watched the weaning cake recipe too- you couldn’t give that to a kid 3tbsps of maple syrup, choc chips and cocoa powder?! who on earth would put tomato paste in a chocolate cake?!

AnneTwackie · 22/03/2021 20:46

Every page of every post for me too!

Roystonv · 22/03/2021 20:46

Finding also that it's difficult to scroll past; is that technically possible?!

OhYouBadBadKitten · 22/03/2021 20:43

One of the big problems with it, is the way that it embeds onto a random post. I'm finding that to scroll past it I'm scrolling past the post and the posts next to it. If others are doing the same then some people are going to find their contributions being ignored.

SoupDragon · 22/03/2021 20:39

@MarieDelaere

That 'weaning' cake is all cocoa powder, chocolate chips, maple syrup and marshmallows.
How on earth is that anything to do with weaning?? Have guidelines changed that much in the 14 years since I last weaned a baby?
MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 20:33

Ami is a professional vlogger apparently. I don't know what the weaning cake is all about.

ZenNudist · 22/03/2021 20:21

I've only noticed this now you've pointed it out. It's the kind of irrelevant shit thats invisible to me... until now. Noooooooo

BenoneBeauty · 22/03/2021 20:17

Most annoying, not lost annoying!

BenoneBeauty · 22/03/2021 20:16

Thankfully I'd not seen her before this thread! She seems lost annoying and if it's an ad, sounds like a sure fire way to put people off the product!

MsFogi · 22/03/2021 20:10

There's no escaping Ami on MN - she appears on my screen more than the MN logo which surely is not a great balance?

porridgecake · 22/03/2021 20:07

God yes. Please, do something.
