Re: pop up video ads on mobile?
I have not downloaded a new app in over a year and nor have I updated one or clicked on a pop up. The ads are 100% from this site. Even when they don't "pop up" they start to play in the background, coming from this site. My phone lets me see what is playing music by dragging down from the top. It gives me the option to play, pause, whatever, and tells me the "title" of the "video" playing. In this case, it is "parrot forums 'thread title'" or whatever. When I have video ads from other sites(if I am googling something, say) it has the name of the offending tab. I usually have 1 tab on this site open and any number of other tabs on other sites open. Right now I have 8 other tabs open(LOL OK, I have 3 open to parrot forums, 2 wikipedia, chewy, mysafebirdstore, amazon, birdbreeders.com), and parrot forums is the one playing videos(not currently, but when video ads are being played they usually are from this site). I really don't think it is an issue with my phone, I don't download apps. Free or otherwise. I cannot download or update apps thru data even when I *want* to....
I hope I'm not coming across as mad or rude. It is just annoying that I'm "spending" data on video ads. Images or text ads would be one thing.. LOL I'm so data starved I occasionally will "splurge" data on loading a song on Youtube and replay it over and over again after turning data back off. Hahaha getting internet is on the list, but it is a long list of priorities... |

Re: pop up video ads on mobile?
Ok, this is still a significant issue, and the embedded video ads are more and more common now too. I literally do not have the data to spare on this. I cannot have data overage every month because of video ads!

Re: pop up video ads on mobile?
I wonder if blocking them in your browser would fix the issue?

Re: pop up video ads on mobile?
How much I understand you! I am also mad of these pop-up notifications and ads. I also use Wi-Fi less often, because I am constantly on the road.

Re: pop up video ads on mobile?
Honestly seems to be more and more these days. I find myself using the forum less.
