I had giant repeating banners of some colon illustration prostrate exam ad thing for a few days straight, thankfully it's over now.

My only issue has been when I'm about to click on the post button and suddenly an ad decides to pop up at that exact moment and shift everything up, making me suddenly click on the "Similar threads" section.
Or in a similar vein, when I'm typing a post and suddenly an ad shifts everything down, and I post a reply way too early, scrambling to fix it after.

I have to agree, unfortunately. The ads are so aggressive that I often get fed up with them after opening the page.
Ads also often cover the control panel.

I threw money on my phone, but I still get the oversized ad blocks.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!

Being positive, I may learn a new craft, like manipulating cables, fuses and stuff.

I created a very similar thread a while back. Now I use opera browser on iOS and it blocks ads. It's great.
Guys. Come on. What is going on? The ads are far too aggressive to the point where I'm basically never visiting the site anymore it's getting that bad. I mean the image above is essentially my landing page.
I'd be happy to support the site with non invasive ads but instead we get this.

I want to support the site but the situation is ridiculous and I'll inevitably end up switching to Firefox with an ad blocker.

Yeah those ads are clearly going rogue right now.
I perfectly understand the need for monetisation (I'm working as an Adops) but the amount of Adslots on one page added to the fact that you can't always force partners (especially those coming from Google) to stay in the iframe size limit are terrible for the viewer experience.
With the importance and the traffic that Gaf is driving you could maybe go with safer monetisation partners via Prebid that can provide a cleaner experience without losing too much on the money side while greatly improving the UX at the same time ?

Every time they have talked about optimising the adverts it has got worse.

They really do make visiting this website on mobile a chore at times.

not tag worthy
Unfortunately the same for me too. I don't mind the odd border add etc but I get a load that push up the screen the. I have to press the x or down chevron to get rid. It's distracting and annoying.

I guess the internet is out of control of ads. And I mean the whole thing that uses it if you don't have AdBlock
Twitch is bombarded with ads that fucks with the live stream. I mean, if you're in a live stream, and the streamer do something cool during your turn to see the ad, it's a massive "fuck you" to the watcher
YouTube also does some ads out of nowhere, and sometimes with a long ass time to see. If you're in the TV, a 10 minute video could have three ads, basically becoming impossible to watch the whole thing
News site are full of ads to the point that is closer to those adwares back in the early 2000s
I know that their way of revenue is having ads, but holy shit, it's broken for sure ...we all need gold
