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...

Can Ami just put 'the tiny Houdini' in a bed & feck off already Angry Multiple times on every thread all day today & yesterday. It's driving me mad.

rainbowruthie · 22/03/2021 16:02

Yep, it is a real pain, sod off Amy

I'm glad it's not just me. She's very irritating, popping up all over the place.

blacksax · 22/03/2021 15:51

I don't have any children under the age of 21 and this not relevant to me at all.

Many of us on here are not the target market for this stuff, it is just annoying.

@OhYouBadBadKitten

How is that working?
Looks like this - with your own advert in there for good measure!

It's fucking irritating.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 22/03/2021 15:45

I've tried to post a picture of it being on here. Ironically my post won't post with a picture of it attached.

MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 15:35

Oh god, I've had enough of Ami on every fucking thread already.

plumplestiltskin · 22/03/2021 15:34

Is this the same as the baby monitor one?

SabrinaMorningstar · 22/03/2021 15:34

At least that one is labelled as an advertisement. The ones popping up everywhere today aren't labelled as ads.

dementedma · 22/03/2021 15:32

Another one finding it very annoying

OhYouBadBadKitten · 22/03/2021 15:30

It is really really annoying.

I'm also not sure why I'm contributing to Mumsnet premium just to be spammed with very irritating and distracting videos while I'm reading a thread. I might as well cancel my subscription if you are going to ignore the one reason why many people like me subscribe - to support an add free version of mn.

ememem84 · 22/03/2021 15:29

she's popped up on this thread too. guess she knew we were talking about her. . .

bearlyactive · 22/03/2021 15:29

She's paying me a visit!

eddiemairswife · 22/03/2021 15:27

Who is Amy? I don't have her visiting me. I feel left out!

CaribGrackle · 22/03/2021 15:23

This Ami? She'll be here for weeks. Over Xmas I had a video where a women popped up everywhere showing me how to make an Xmas Eve box!

Oh thank goodness it's not just happening to me. First I thought it was a poster spamming dodgy links. Then I thought my machine had some weird virus.

Thanks for letting us know that these videos seem to be cropping up too frequently, within users' posts and in inappropriate topics. We're taking a look into this right now and will be back with a response as soon as possible.

SabrinaMorningstar · 22/03/2021 15:14

I reported them as spam because it looks as though they're part of the posts. If you must have ads in the middle of pages then surely they need to be clearly marked as ads and differentiated from posters' content? I thought the guidance on identifying ads was quite strict.

CuriousaboutSamphire · 22/03/2021 15:12

I've had a slightly bemused response about the innocent poster I reported. They agreed it was misplaced!

So I suspect MNHQ are on to it!

Saucery · 22/03/2021 15:11

Not sure cake is a good thing to be promoting as a weaning food, either. Hmm

emptyraspberry · 22/03/2021 15:09

Same thing on every damn thread. I've just seen another 4.

Too irritating, so I'm off.
