NetShort pop ups ads- inappropriate

8 replies

NaiceCupOTea · 13/06/2026 08:27

Anyone else suddenly getting these pop ups from NetShort? They look are AI generated mini series by the looks of things.

One I've seen looks like its for a romance fantasy which is fine but others looks to be some sort of horror with a skeleton dog thing, one seemed to be promoting some sort of steamy love affair between siblings, there is another with a woman crying on her knees being 'sold off' in a Viking village clearly for terrible things to happen to her before a 'hero' intervenes.

Just now one has popped up with the title 'Wake up Daddy Mommy is dying' with a child age around six crying. Really distasteful and could be very triggering. Why are these ads being allowed? I keep closing the pop ups as soon as they appear but a new one comes on every time I change pages on MN.

Really don't want to be seeing stuff like this on what is meant to be a safe space. Why is the site allowing these types of ads with what could be distressing content?

I was sitting in the airport in Japan a few days ago with my 6 yo and 4 yo and graphic cum covered tits were all over the MN ads pages. Between the Cloudflare ‘verifying’ xenophobic nonsense every 10 minutes. It’s just not ok to treat users to this.

How do I make the admins aware of these ads? Just seen another one where it appeared a man had hit a woman who had blood pouring down her face, and another overly sexual one.

Getting sick of these popping up on every page now

Hello @NaiceCupOTea and @Sesquioxides . This definitely sounds like something we want to look into. Can anyone who's seeing this sort of thing post a link to the 'ad' itself or a screengrab so we can see what you're seeing? If you could let us know exactly where you were on the site when it popped up that would also be helpful in tracking them down. Thank you!

Here is a screen shot of one. This one popped when I went onto a thread on AIBU, but they seem to appear whenever changing pages on the website

Just had another one a Housekeeping thread which was really overtly sexual just a DC popped over my shoulder to ask something. I am going to have to stop using Mumsnet until these are stopped

Thanks for the screenshot @NaiceCupOTea . We'll get these blocked asap.

Hi again @NaiceCupOTea . These should be blocked completely now but please do let us know if you see anything like this pop up again.
