Constant intrusive videos

[BTECBetty]

These are driving me mad. I understand you need to sell advertising space, but on every thread there is a highly intrusive video. Even when I close them down they reappear on the same thread! Surely once a user has closed the ad that should be it?

When the video ad. is there I can’t do anything.. makes me click offf mn

I'm getting pop up video ads covering banner ads and part of the (small) screen on my iphone 12 mini. I'm getting pop ups on my macbook air that won't fuck off when I click the X, they're like zombie pop ups that want to eat my brains and just won't stay X'd.

I got rid of the annoying adverts by subscribing!!

Its a good site. I use it a lot. They need to pay their staff etc. Its worth it.

I just had a PayPal video hijack my full phone screen while I was in the middle of typing a reply to a post. Around 5 am this morning.

MN, this was reminiscent to the McAfee spam ads recently. But it didn’t redirect to a new URL. Still, it was an entire page video ad while I was mid message.

Download the Duck Duck Go extension for Chrome. 10 seconds and all the stuff that makes the site unusable for people who have disabilities relating to sight disappear.

Please tell me which one!! It’s driving me mad too.

How do you do that?

How much is it to subscribe?

Mumsnet - you need to stop these ads. They are making me feel sick!

Hello mnhq advertisers 😆

This place only works with an ad locker 🤷

Really sick of this.

I'm on an Android phone so can't use the advice being posted here for Apple products.

I personally make a point of not buying from brands that deploy annoying adverts. You have to vote with your feet.

I’m using the app and haven't noticed it so far but if it becomes intrusive I would just leave.

Still happening. It's bloody annoying and means I lose patience for using the site after a few minutes. I'm on an android phone.
@MNHQ why no response to this thread?

This is how it currently looks - screenshot from just now - hardly any text visible

I had to disable my ad blocker. It allows you to view a few threads but then blocks you.

I'm on an Apple laptop and can't see anything like that. Any suggestions?

Duck Duck Go is my Android browser as well. I said use it in answer to somebody specifically asking about Chrome on a laptop, but I've got an Android phone as well.

Wouldn't know what to do with an iPhone if you chucked one at me.

Today I'm getting the video ad that just won't quit! In the time it took me to quickly tap out one post on a thread, the same popup appeared (and I closed it) 6 times. It was a popup for knickers or something and I didn't really want my young children seeing me on a site where apparently grown women prance around in nude knickers that look invisible from a distance.

Also, are your sponsors who are paying for advertising space happy to know that the ads they've paid for are being covered up by other ads? Because if I was spending my advertising budget I wouldn't be happy to drop it on a site that was allowing that to happen.

My screenshot is under review. I am rather hoping that it gets rejected by the AI because that would prove how bloody inappropriate that ad is and how it has no place repeatedly popping up on this site!

And now I’m finding pages don’t scroll properly, they move increeeeedibly sloooooowly and it’s unusable.

Probably because there’s so many crappy videos trying to load 😡

I’m so sick of the heavy advertising that impacts MNing.
I swear @MNHQ are toying with us to see how annoying it has to be for us to abandon ship.

It's like the old websites in the 2000s with ads flashing everywhere. No other website is like this.

Those shitty click bait news webpages are like that. No reputable website is that dysfunctional

Your site is unuseable
these ads make the site completely useless and sure as heck won't make me buy anything
