Flashing / scrolling ads in the banner on app

I'm ND, I love MN it's pretty much the only SM I use, been here years and years, a massive aspect is because of its minimal interface.

However lately there's a constant flashing/moving banner (google ads) on the app at the top.
Because of my ND and my generally high stressed state I just can't bear the movement.
You can 'report' the add or hit the x in the corner, but it is quickly replaced by a similar moving ad.
I use a scrunchie to wrap around but that limits my ability to read posts and navigate the site.

Absolutely no issue with ads, it's the movement.

Is there anything I can do (within the app) in terms of settings or my phone (iPhone) to permanently stop moving ads?

MN is the only app I use for 'relaxing' so it's not such an issue in other sites because I generally use a laptop and can prop a pad of paper up to physically block flashing ads, not really possible on my phone.

Thanks

Hi OP

Thanks for raising this, and for your lovely words about MN.

We're going to look into this and get back to you when we know a bit more - didn't want to just read and run. We'll be back when we can, and thanks for bearing with us.
