Constant intrusive videos

I am really, really fucked off that MN has been shoving gambling promotion adverts in our faces.

I deleted them and they kept coming back.

What a horrible experience all round. Gambling. Ffs, MNHQ.

Is this the ones that drop down from the top? Oh they can piss off. I know MN needs to make money and I accept that advertising is the best way to do that, but those ads are too far.

It's completely awful and makes me want to stop coming here. Plus it has the opposite effect that advertising is meant to. Why would I give any money or time to whatever brand is intruding on me with these shitty video ads?

Safari on iPhone, posts keep jumping then freezes. I have to refresh page then it happens again.

Nearly 15 hours since the thread started and still no response from @MNHQ.

And those videos just keep on popping up 😡

Disappointing.

Christ yes, I came here in the hope that I wasn't the only one. I know MN needs to make money but the ads are so intrusive and they just don't stop. And, if I'm on my phone, the ad comes up at the top and clicking the 'x' often takes me to the top of the page so I lose my reading place.

Make it stop, MN, please. There's a difference between ad revenue and driving everyone away. The daft thing is, I close the ads so quickly because I find them so intrusive that I never see what they're for anyway.

Yes they are driving me mad. Chrome, laptop and they are constantly on the bottom right of the screen. You can X them but another one just pops up.

There’s no name just this this:

Hello there,
Thanks for flagging this.
There is a Site stuff thread about the new ads herewhich we will post on in due course.
Best wishes,
MNHQ

i have a constant replay of super mario kart keep popping out in the bottom right of my browser window. driving me nuts.

Which moderator directed you here please @Pinkfluffypencilcase ?

Reported my post about this and mn directed me to this thread.

Ouse my phone and it’s only a small screen so that pop up hides more of the screen. Plus it’s intrusive and distracting.

Yes constant video popping up at the top of the screen...Butlins I think but I'm deliberately not paying it any attention so its a fail on advertising! Very annoying- please can we stop this Mumsnet, it's not making me want to carry on reading threads.

Not working for me this morning

just goes as soon as I move from that page

dunno who thinks these ads are a good idea.

Plus ones in the middle of the thread as you scroll down.
MNHQ it is too much clutter and really unpleasant to use the site when it's like this.

I'm getting videos that drop down from the top when you start reading a thread. Read the same thread for another minute and the same video drops down again, you have to click it to go away.
It's really really annoying and it's putting me off using the site

I keep getting small videos in the top right corner. Arggghhhhh.

They are so distracting and annoying. Please @mnhq make it stop!

Yes this immensely annoying and intrusive

What makes it worse is that clicking on the X on the ad makes it go away for around one second and clicking on 'skip ad' for only 2 or 3 seconds so you can't get rid of it

Because there is also an ad at the top of the screen it's like trying to read the page thro' a letter box

Please do something about this

Yes - on the browser address bar to the left there is a rectangle shape with two lines underneath it - click on that and then a few options appear including “hide distracting items”. Select that option and then you can select anything you want to hide/remove. I just leave it on until I move to the next page so I can instantly remove annoying ads.

I hope that makes sense 😆

Tap the jigsaw piece, then tap the ad & tap HIDE.

Same here. The ads are intrusive enough without the fecking videos!

@MNHQ - make them stop please.

Please stop it. I find it really distracting and can’t cope with it. I understand the need for adverts and can cope with the usual ones but these constant videos are awful.

Yep, just started this morning. Bah!

I've got floating video ads over other ads and then a sideswipe floating ad over that.

It's all the SAME AD.

Same here!

It’s really annoying.
