These ads are so huge and annoying!

FWIW, I have been diligently reporting every one of these using #audit. Hopefully that helps.

Today I got an ad that covered the whole site. I couldn't scroll past it up or down. I had to close the website and reopen it.

Okay, I finally got shots of all of the screens of the St Augustine ad. It fills the entire screen and has 3 pages, it just scrolls between the 3 pages.

Page 1 is:


Page 2 is:


And page 3 is:


It is very annoying. On my Samsung Galaxy S20 with Chrome as the browser, it fills the entire screen, and just scrolls between the three images. I have to close the browser and restart to get past it.

On my Win10 laptop with Chrome, it fills the window (not the screen) and scrolls between the three images, but I can still his the reload button in the browser and it will reload the page I am on without me having to kill and restart the browser.

The problem is that you reload and after 15-20 seconds, it returns. I get it about 5 times in 2 minutes before I get a longer break of maybe 10 minutes before it returns.

I get this add too and can't scroll past. However I am not getting this ad at other websites. It is equally annoying and ginormous but I can scroll past it, so it must be how the ad is working with this site in particular.

Thank you! I really appreciate this effort. I have made our ad partner aware of these reports so that they can be sure to follow them up.

Came here to complain about the ads and was... blocked by ads. Ugh
This one was new though: Inspiria Financial.

hello Giant REI ad.

I hate how I’m about to click on a post and the screen shifts to load an ad and I end up clicking something else. So annoying.
