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...

If it must stay, please highlight separately from posts so we can see it’s an (irritating) advert.

I only get this on my iPad when I'm on the web browser, but man is 'Amy' annoying! I have no interest in whatever she is doing. Sorry Amy.

AColdDuncanGoodhew · 22/03/2021 21:11

I use MN on my mobile but via the website, not the app, and can scroll past ads no problem, the sounds don’t play either if anyone can do that until its sorted Smile

AFAICS, she is making a cake with a huge amount of sugar.

I love sugar. I would die for sugar. In fact, it's quite possible my cause of death will be certified as "sugar".

But if that's meant to be for a baby, I'm a bit confused.

MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 21:12

I mean for all we know the lava cake-making lady isn't promoting it for weaning purposes - hard to tell as there's no sound - but the video screenshot preview that I can see definitely says 'weaning lava cake'.

Some of these videos are dated last summer.

It all seems a bit of a shambles, really.

Silvercatowner · 22/03/2021 21:19

Fucksake I've just spent a jolly 45 minutes googling malware trying to get rid of this annoying stuff. Quite glad it isn't me...

Grandma14 · 22/03/2021 21:22

Im afraid if she stays...Im going! Horrible distracting videos of stuff which is of no interest to me at all. Spoiling every single thread! Please take it away MNHQ.

Catabogus · 22/03/2021 21:26

Oh lord, yes, please make Amy go away!

Also - bit concerned about her baby under that duvet. It looks thick and heavy and the child isn’t “foot to foot” (or has that guidance changed now?). Mind you it’s possible the child is actually 2.5 or more and just happens still to need a dummy and a monitor!

Catabogus · 22/03/2021 21:28

Blimey I’ve just watched the lava cake one out of morbid curiosity! You can’t wean a child on that!!

HedgeOwl · 22/03/2021 21:31

Every. Fucking. Page.

Yup, the caption definitely says, 'easy weaning recipes: lava cake'!

Could you wean me off sugar with that cake?

(Only joking, not coming off sugar).

AcornAutumn · 22/03/2021 21:53

There seems to be a toothbrush advert before it now

Not sure they've got those in the right order 😂😂😂

MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 22:09

Yes, let's brush those sugars right into our baby gums.

theheartofthematter · 22/03/2021 22:10

I get this advert too, completely irrelevant to my life, but also that weird cake with marshmallows on. Why on earth does the woman put tomato purée in it?!

Possibly to copyright the recipe as 'her own'?

She is welcome to it.

Cantreasonwithunreasonable · 22/03/2021 22:27

It's v v v annoying, and takes up my whole screen and is difficult to scroll past.

littlbrowndog · 22/03/2021 22:30

Jeez get rid o& ami

She is haunting me like a bad fart

youshallnotpass9 · 22/03/2021 22:33

Also getting it, its on all five pages of this thread and its not clear its an ad.

On this page it looks like @MarieDelaere has spammed it, which is unfair on them and the other four posters on the prevous page, you need to make it clear its from MN's rather than some poor poster get the flack for it

Fucking hell.
Mabelene · 22/03/2021 23:10

Bloody awful ad. It’s got through my adblocker.

And repeats on every fucking page. If this is the way mumsnet is going then I’m off

Catzpyjamas · 22/03/2021 23:36

This? It's taking up most of my tablet screen and I can't scroll past most of the time without accidentally clicking on it (in mobile website).

MarieDelaere · 22/03/2021 23:40

Yes her ^^

RancidOldHag · 23/03/2021 06:31

It's relentless

And shows that MN only values MNetters with very young DC, as it's wholly irrelevant to others.

If you're really going to inflict such intrusive and awful advertising on people, then choosing something which targets only some of your users is a poor idea as you're pissing off everyone, not just that subset
