Random videos of 'Amy' in threads...

[BringMeTea]

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...

Hi @BringMeTea we're really sorry if it's annoying you! We're happy to pass your feedback over to the relevant team.

Oh! It's a 'thing'? Gosh... thanks for clarification...

Yes, why on earth are these appearing? It's really annoying.

I've even accused/reported a specific poster of spamming!!!!!

When it comes underneath / within a personal issue thread or post it looks truly crass. I imagine 'Amy' wouldn't be all that pleased to see her video under a post giving advice on what to do about marital rape!

That's a REALLY bad move by your advertising placement team!

I'm finding it intrusive too.

I thought it was linked by a poster too until I saw it on another thread, multiple times!

Very annoying.

Is it a permanent feature?

I've just checked and it appears on threads on the miscarriage /pregnancy loss boards! That's totally inappropriate!

Ye gods!

That poor woman. I hope it doesn't get her any negativity!

It's just appeared on this thread for me. The irony.

I keep thinking it's someone spamming the boards.

It's currently appearing in the middle of a Pregnancy thread right under someone talking about a loss (so it looks like their link)

Please tell the relevant team that it is tiresome and annoying for the same thing to be popping up all over the place - sometimes in the most inappropriate of threads.

Could you please ask them to get rid of it asap.

Eeurgh. I’m not in the demographic where Amy is relevant, interesting or pertinent to me, so it’s just irritating.
Even if I was, I’d get tired of her popping up in every damn thread I look at.
Wonder if there is an ad blocker I can pay for that would banish her?

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

Too irritating, so I'm off.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

She's paying me a visit!

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

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.

Another one finding it very annoying

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