Is this an adult video ad?

I’m not clicking it to find out but this banner ad keeps popping up. It switches between a man and woman kissing and this picture very quickly so it’s hard to screenshot the part that made me 🤔 but the caption on the other half of the ad said “pregnant with his triplets about to become his wifey”. It was at the top of a thread on the Style and Beauty board. I think this screenshot has the company name and it sounds like a video site. I am using the app in case that is relevant.

It’s not an adult video ad 😂

It’s an ad for a ‘vertical drama’ site. They make brief, utterly ridiculous, cheaply made romance stories in a format designed for watching in short bursts on a phone. They’re often produced by Chinese companies. The plots are things like “Billionaire CEO forced by family to get married for some reason and gets his PA to pose as his fiance’ and they are usually ridiculously absurd.

" Vertical drama" !
I had to google that @TheLastSilverSaint!
Never heard of the term before..
MN really is a learning curve.

Hi @ILiveinChina , thanks for flagging this, and for not clicking! As @TheLastSilverSaint said, it’s an ad for ReelShort, a short-form drama app, rather than an adult site. Still, it isn’t what we want showing up on Mumsnet, so we’ve blocked it. It may take a little while to disappear completely. If you see it, or anything similar, again, please post here with a screenshot and we’ll look into it.
