Ad obliterared screen while typing a post

Hi I was just typing out a response to a thread in the school nurses office waiting for the nurse to see my son and a video advert totally obliterated the screen, blacked out the site and started making loud noises. There was no x and when I shut down safari and went to my app screen the video stayed in a corner and wouldn’t bloody go away. I cannot browse MN if the site is going to do this to me mid-post because it means I can’t post easily if a video ad can launch while I’m typing, and because of the chance of my kids seeing/hearing something inappropriate. This is beyond not okay. Iphone 12 mini browsing on safari on website. Not in uk. No url, not a chance I’m clicking on that.

Hello @PflumPfeffer thanks for posting. To help us track down this ad, can we please ask that you take a screen recording when it next happens, or failing that, a screen shot of it? Also any details of the ad that you remember in the meantime would be helpful. You don't need to click on the URL.
