An update on Ad blockers

278 replies

We wanted to give you a heads up that we will shortly introduce additional software designed to prevent the use of ad blockers. So, if you're using an ad blocker, you'll shortly see a series of prompts asking you to disable it before continuing to browse the site.

We know this is going to cause some annoyance to those of you with ad blockers in place but we do have costs associated with running our platform and the way we meet those is via advertising revenue.

We try to keep the display ads to a minimum (particularly for logged in users) and turn down a lot of the more intrusive ad formats. Nonetheless we do understand that some people find ads really annoying. If you would prefer an ad-free experience, Mumsnet Premium is available as a subscription option for £2.99 a month or £29.99 per year.

The last thing we want is to cause loyal users financial distress, so if you have particular reasons why both seeing ads and paying for Premium is problematic for you, then please do get in touch with us at [email protected] and we’d be happy to look at what we can do to help.

Whatever device you use, explore the settings. It’s amazing what the device can help with.

Trying to give it a go without the ad blocker. I’m browsing on my phone.

I keep getting pop-up ads for tractors that fill the entire large phone screen with animation. I have to shrink the ad. Then it pops up again seconds later.

It’s like an early 90s MySpace page in here. The site is completely unusable when this is happening.

Has anyone else noticed YouTube is also doing this now ? Again I have no ad-blocker, but it insists I disable it.

So much for "AI" ...
