Looks like you folks are using google, should be possible to go in your account and limit the ad types or advertisers that are approved to run on the site.

Probably going static only is going to result in a significant loss of revenue, but probably expandables can be filtered out, or whatever ad format is hello fresh running there.

That's just to sell your data to their advertisers and to attempt to give value to their cryptocurrency.

If there's a scam in the world of ads it's them.

Meh. I use different browsers for different things. Brave is for porn and F1technical.net 🤣🤣

They can sell all that data they want!

Heads up!

Due to lack of control about ads we'll evaluate another provider.
I'll notify when the change is active so that you can get the feedback rolling in again.

Apologies for any inconvenience!
Full page ads and that static ad at the top are not acceptable.

I get this now. On every page there is at least one large advert at the top that takes sometimes a while to fully load (so other content moves about whilst it does) and a banner at the bottom that moves with the page as I scroll through the thread.

Nothing so intrusive on desktop but definitively different add zones compared to yesterday.

All over here today, a lot more white space where ads should be. I do use a ad-blocker, but that usually takes out the white space/area for the adverts.

It is getting worse. This is all I see on my laptop screen now.

And when I click on the cross, another ad appears.
