...TikTok advert that keeps appearing on my phone?
Seriously it is freaking me out!

It has a woman with scary eyes - sadly my phone won't let me post a screenshot but it's probably on your page right now!

Help!

PS this is lighthearted but I really don't want to look at that advert for some reason!

YABU

Grow up

Also shows a lack of awareness of how the internet works if you think MN controls the GDN ads hosted on site

Aww, he’s an angry elf 😂

Pumperthepumper · 23/12/2022 20:06

BrookieButter · 23/12/2022 17:03

Just block the advert by updating your GDN preferences from the ad itself.

Really not difficult.

That won’t work for TikTok.

42isthemeaning · 23/12/2022 20:33

I did click on it and selected 'This advert is not relevant' in the hope it would clear off.

It didn't...Xmas Confused

It won’t work on mumsnet either. Are you ok @BrookieButter?

It will work on Mn, as this is a GDN ad, it’s hosted by Mn not run by MN. Just clicking the blue icons at the bottom will give the OP the option to select the ad as not relevant and they won’t be served it again.

Christ the low levels of computer literacy on here are something else.

@BrookieButter is just pissed off after being told she is talking absolute bollocks on the cocaine thread. Head over look at the bollocks she believes. It's hilarious.

It won’t work. It doesn’t know why it’s not relevant so it’ll keep showing it.

Are you ok?

Do you also not understand how Google display network advertising works?

Join the line it seems

You clearly have 0 idea what you’re on about, hence the first two comments being factually incorrect.

This isn’t a TikTok ad, it’s not a MN hosted ad, and now once told that you’re on about not knowing why it’s not relevant.

Have a good evening.

Bigdamnheroes · 23/12/2022 20:47

Blimey who shoved Brookies Christmas tinsel up her arse?

Because it’s based on wording - so it might not be relevant now, but it could well be relevant later. So the add will pop up again if it thinks it relevant to another thread.

I really hope you’re ok, Christmas is a hard time and you’ve reacted in an odd way to a fairly innocent thread. Hope you manage to get a bit of whatever you need over the next few days, and I mean that sincerely.

TimeToFlyNow · 23/12/2022 20:51

Yeah, courts are definitely not full of people robbing to fund their cocaine habit that's crap

Thedogscollar · 23/12/2022 21:50

@BrookieButter
For Christs sake have a bloody drink go for a walk have a bath read a book. Never seen anyone so wound up about utter nonsense.
I personally don't give a rats arse how google display advertising works I have no need to.

Yarrawonga · 23/12/2022 22:05

I don’t get adverts for some reason.

Not that I am complaining.
