NFT: Ads popping up in threads?

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 2/7/2023 7:49 pm
Anyone else having this problem? It seems to be happening to me on each thread I view.
Getting it on my Iphone

Had to close a transparent screen before I could post.

FWIW, I’ve seen it happen in on other sites like MLBTR.

Del Shofner : 2/7/2023 10:13 pm : link
seems like you can click right out of them and resume normal BBI ranting.
Thanks

I've seen them myself tonight and I submitted a ticket.

Big time. The X on the ad is the tiniest I've ever seen. Impossible for me to hit on my cellular phone device.
ironically yes on every one EXCEPT for this one

Getting worse on my end now as opposed to last night
I'm gettig them on my android phone as well.  
oghwga : 2/8/2023 9:48 am : link
I have never once bought something from a pop up ad the revenue per view ratio must be out of this world. Most of the ads I see are for stuff I've either already bought or already researched anyway.

It has to be a minimum of 500 - 5000 views of an ad per purchase.
When I click on on thread  
Mayo2JZ : 2/8/2023 1:59 pm : link
it brings me to an ad. Very annoying
On my Apple computer

Ridiculous!

As if we’re going to pay attention to the content
I do wonder sometimes  
TJ : 2/8/2023 7:57 pm : link
how much can a company possibly sell by pissing off customers with intrusive pop-ups? I know I make a conscious decision not to patronize companies that do it. I assumed most people would but maybe I'm wrong

It’s been happening for centuries. Just in different mediums.
Android phone pop ups have been annoying last 48 hours

Still happening
Ads Just Started Appearing this Morning  
Jim in Tampa : 2/9/2023 5:41 am : link
Ads weren't happening on my desktop until now. You can't even read the content on some of the threads.

Not worth trying to navigate BBI if the "blocking" ads are here to stay.

I hope you realize that the company you see featured in the ad has no idea it is happening via a pop up like that.
It's hard for me to click on threads now  
KevinBBWC : 2/9/2023 6:50 am : link
Some I can't even get into.
Just an FYI  
Danny Kanell : 2/9/2023 8:08 am : link
It's not just happening in threads now. It's everywhere.
