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...

I feel for Ami now. Poor soul, people are being very mean.
That said I can’t hear her. Perhaps if I could hear her I would find her more annoying.

dementedma · 22/03/2021 19:13

I wish MN would get rid of it. It is seriously annoying and distracts from the threads

GreenGordon · 22/03/2021 19:15

Yep. Bloody annoying

VerityWibbleWobble · 22/03/2021 19:20

I'm sure Amy is lovely but...

I have no idea who she is.

If she's to do with small children, I don't have any.

She is driving me fucking insane on every single thread I open, all day.

Please MNHQ, make Amy go away.

Quaagars · 22/03/2021 19:26

Ooh,, wondered what that was!
Literally on every thread I'm opening, and it's really annoying!

MyDcAreMarvel · 22/03/2021 19:30

Her she is again on this thread

I thought it was a poster spamming us, and scrolled on by (not reading the post immediately above the vid, as I thought that was the posts that was spamming us)

Which is quite a disservice to the person whose post this interruption lands next to

It’s really annoying, there’s no way I will be watching it, and definitely won’t be buying

Quaagars · 22/03/2021 19:33

Also agree with those saying that it's Hmm that it pops up as part of someone's posts.
Surely if it's an ad, it should be separate to people's posts?
As it looks the posters themselves have posted it, and therefore spamming random links to videos.

thecognoscenti · 22/03/2021 19:42

She's really annoying. This ad constantly popping up actually puts me off going on the site at all, which surely defeats the object.

Pericombobulations · 22/03/2021 19:42

I am glad to see I'm not alone disliking seeing these videos pop up everywhere. I'm also the wrong demographic (my child will be takingn his A Levels next year!), but also very upsetting as I have hidden topics about small children as they are incredibly insensitive to those who us who wanted more / any and couldnt have them but still use this website.

RoseWineTime · 22/03/2021 19:44

Yes very annoying snd on all threads.

DaveTuckerforPM · 22/03/2021 19:45

It is really very annoying and very intrusive, and on practically every thread I read Sad

MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 19:51

That 'weaning' cake is all cocoa powder, chocolate chips, maple syrup and marshmallows.

porridgecake · 22/03/2021 20:07

God yes. Please, do something.

MsFogi · 22/03/2021 20:10

There's no escaping Ami on MN - she appears on my screen more than the MN logo which surely is not a great balance?

BenoneBeauty · 22/03/2021 20:16

Thankfully I'd not seen her before this thread! She seems lost annoying and if it's an ad, sounds like a sure fire way to put people off the product!

BenoneBeauty · 22/03/2021 20:17

Most annoying, not lost annoying!

ZenNudist · 22/03/2021 20:21

I've only noticed this now you've pointed it out. It's the kind of irrelevant shit thats invisible to me... until now. Noooooooo

MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 20:33

Ami is a professional vlogger apparently. I don't know what the weaning cake is all about.

SoupDragon · 22/03/2021 20:39

How on earth is that anything to do with weaning?? Have guidelines changed that much in the 14 years since I last weaned a baby?
OhYouBadBadKitten · 22/03/2021 20:43

One of the big problems with it, is the way that it embeds onto a random post. I'm finding that to scroll past it I'm scrolling past the post and the posts next to it. If others are doing the same then some people are going to find their contributions being ignored.

Roystonv · 22/03/2021 20:46

Finding also that it's difficult to scroll past; is that technically possible?!

AnneTwackie · 22/03/2021 20:46

Every page of every post for me too!

AnneTwackie · 22/03/2021 20:50

I just watched the weaning cake recipe too- you couldn’t give that to a kid 3tbsps of maple syrup, choc chips and cocoa powder?! who on earth would put tomato paste in a chocolate cake?!

AcornAutumn · 22/03/2021 21:03

Came on to report this.

I thought I'd been logged out because I've only ever seen this awful moving ad at those times. I thought they were used an incentive to make you log in.

But I am logged in and it won't go away!
