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...

It is really very annoying and very intrusive, and on practically every thread I read Sad

RoseWineTime · 22/03/2021 19:44

Yes very annoying snd on all threads.

Pericombobulations · 22/03/2021 19:42

I am glad to see I'm not alone disliking seeing these videos pop up everywhere. I'm also the wrong demographic (my child will be takingn his A Levels next year!), but also very upsetting as I have hidden topics about small children as they are incredibly insensitive to those who us who wanted more / any and couldnt have them but still use this website.

thecognoscenti · 22/03/2021 19:42

She's really annoying. This ad constantly popping up actually puts me off going on the site at all, which surely defeats the object.

Quaagars · 22/03/2021 19:33

Also agree with those saying that it's Hmm that it pops up as part of someone's posts.
Surely if it's an ad, it should be separate to people's posts?
As it looks the posters themselves have posted it, and therefore spamming random links to videos.

iVampire · 22/03/2021 19:33

I thought it was a poster spamming us, and scrolled on by (not reading the post immediately above the vid, as I thought that was the posts that was spamming us)

Which is quite a disservice to the person whose post this interruption lands next to

It’s really annoying, there’s no way I will be watching it, and definitely won’t be buying

MyDcAreMarvel · 22/03/2021 19:30

Her she is again on this thread

Ooh,, wondered what that was!
Literally on every thread I'm opening, and it's really annoying!

VerityWibbleWobble · 22/03/2021 19:20

I'm sure Amy is lovely but...

I have no idea who she is.

If she's to do with small children, I don't have any.

She is driving me fucking insane on every single thread I open, all day.

Please MNHQ, make Amy go away.

GreenGordon · 22/03/2021 19:15

Yep. Bloody annoying

dementedma · 22/03/2021 19:13

I wish MN would get rid of it. It is seriously annoying and distracts from the threads

StanfordPines · 22/03/2021 19:01

I feel for Ami now. Poor soul, people are being very mean.
That said I can’t hear her. Perhaps if I could hear her I would find her more annoying.

MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 18:58

I really don't want Ami and her lifestyle, which I personally find annoying, thrown at me on every single page. That includes the visuals as much as the gadgets and behaviours.

There seems to be no way to evade it or turn it off.

I think if there was a way to turn it off or say 'no thanks' some posters might be less cross or inclined to be sardonic. They'd just click 'X' and move on.

But as BadKitten says, she's 'haunting' us.

@golddustwomen

I have no idea who Amy is! Mines always hello fresh.. feel like it's telling me to step away from just eat Grin
Ami is the mother of a child who should blatantly be in a bed if he keeps escaping his cot , instead she is testing baby monitors Hmm

Adblock doesn't block Amy, she pops up on all my threads, at least she is silent though

CodMouth · 22/03/2021 18:47

It’s annoying.

Branleuse · 22/03/2021 18:47

I have premium and i dont get any ads since.
Makes such a difference

Notavegan · 22/03/2021 18:46

It's bloody annoying

SoupDragon · 22/03/2021 18:46

@Tal45

I haven't seen it, I guess because I have adblock, it's free and I'd really recommend it!
I also have Adblock. It has not blocked Ami.

AdaColeman · 22/03/2021 18:27

AND

For added annoyance....

Once you've turned Amy off on a page, if you happen to scroll past her on that page again....

Amy turns herself back on, you simply cannot shut her up!!!

StanfordPines · 22/03/2021 18:17

It’s all getting a bit meta.

Baby monitors? I don’t think I need one, since my youngest child is at university, yet I have this video playing on every thread all day. Very ineffective advertising.

Saucery · 22/03/2021 17:46

She is passing on her poor food choices to the next generation. Makes sense she might be the type who cba to nip upstairs to check on a toddler 🤷‍♀️
