Never seen these before but this evening they're popping up on lots of threads?

Huh itv premium yet still have to watch ads BBC but still some ads hate it when they say we pay for Jo ads that's what it should mean not tiny tiny writing saying you may see some ads after we've paid for a subscription

Wowsers. How to piss off all of the people who actually contribute financially in one fell swoop.

Who on earth genuinely thought that would be a good idea...hmm...I've got an idea... when is an advert not an advert...when Amazon have paid us to market their stuff under our name...

It comes to mind, the bbc no adverts however they still use there own ads for different bbc shows.

Why on earth would you think them useful MNHQ?
They’re highly irritating 😡

DragonFly98 · 09/11/2023 00:10

Yes really irritating and not at all useful.

SnakeyS · 08/11/2023 23:49

I was just about to start a thread on this.
I don’t pay for premium. But I was going to ask what on earth these annoying things are, slap bang in the middle of threads.
@BeckyAMumsnet as @HauntedGusset says, it’s really annoying placement, they’re not helpful and I just find them extremely irritating.
It’s a no from me.

Hello @HauntedGusset thanks for posting. You're seeing links to related Mumsnet content pages rather than external ads. We're testing this at the moment on a small area of the site and hope MNers find it useful - do let us know if you have any feedback.

Ok thanks for the clarification.

You asked for feedback so....

I do not find it useful. I pay for MN Premium because I don't want ads of any kind cluttering up my page.

If I wanted a dehumidifier I'd look for one, I won't be tempted to rush out and buy one because an ad (and it is an ad, even if you'd rather call it "related MN content") for them was plonked into the middle of a thread about how to split the cost of a gift for an elderly parent Hmm It's not even remotely related to the thread topic!

Hi OP

So sorry about that - firstly, can we ask you to sign out and back in again? This often does fix stray ads appearing. Flowers
