Keep getting sent to Amazon site from just scrolling

[VanillaImpulse]

Anyone else having this problem on the app? I’m just trying to read the thread scrolling down and keep being sent to Amazon as it’s so sensitive it immediately goes to it when you scroll down. It’s so irritating and happened before with the Shein ads. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes. It’s so irritating!

Same!! So annoying.

Hello @VanillaImpulse thank you for letting us know - we're looking into this now.

Yes, the same. It's because it's so big the border is hard to dodge, even if you spot it first and try to do a full scroll, you end up touching it. Absolute PITA.

Same here

Oh, the irony. Came back on the thread to see if there was an update from yesterday as yet again, on the very first thread I went onto this morning, the Amazon ad ruined my reading experience several times, and here we have it on here also. (Just tried to do a screen shot but it didn't capture so I may edit the thread if it pops up again).

Same for me, so annoying!

Same for me, even this morning. Thought my phone was playing up!

Yes! Bloody Amazon advert - this has been happening to me for the last few days!

Yes, incredibly annoying (and feels cynical).

Same

bloody annoying

Same

Same here.

Yup same here. Really annoying

Just going to start a thread about this. Huge pita.

Hi all,

Thanks again for letting us know that these ads were causing problems. We've hopefully blocked them all by now, but if there are any that are still playing up then please let us know.

Yes! I keep clicking on links mid thread by accident too. Really annoying.

Yes! Soooooo annoying.

Hi @doggostepping and @friskybivalves

Sorry to hear that you're still getting directed to the Amazon site. We've already blocked multiple ads but if you're able to post a screenshot of any ads that are still causing this to happen, we'll get those ones blocked as well.

It's happening again!

Yes, just happened to me so it’s still going on. Opens my Amazon app. Very annoying!

Still happening

Still happening to me too. Before that it was University ads!🙄

That is effectivly the direct opposite effect of the goal of advertising.

To wind site users up so much with annoying ads they could choose to boycott the companies being advertised.

Its quite ironic really.

The cost of subscriptions for this app are also extortionate in a cost of living crisis for some people who could benefit from it the most.

Still happening. It’s very off putting and I end up leaving this app.
