Is it just me, or has the forum advert load just got insane recently?

I mean, once I've slid up the drop down covering half the screen, I then get this kind of thing (screen shot from my phone) -

It's madness. It's getting worse than Facebook!

(Obviously on the desktop computer I've got all sorts of plugins to rid myself of them, but on the phone it's harder)

As a fellow user, mine are mainly from advertising by Pornhub Xhamster and Freelander Dogging sites. But seriously though I suspect it's a revenue earner for Landyzone to allow advertising more than ever. Currently with AI via your phone browsing target these become more personalised. I looked for Flight socks for work and yep Landyzone advertising same thing. So clearly Cookies sitting in the phone get switched on. Says much what Nig and JohnM70 are getting beggars belief 🤠
Worth checking the cookies list and then clearing the cache occasionally. My guess is when you buying a new phone, it's not preloaded first with the junk only accepting access later when browsing.
 
I don't get any ...

[edit]
Sorry am on a pc not a phone ... why would you use a phone, they are for making phone calls and sending the occasional text ???
Must admit, I only ever use my phone on here, Mrs uses the laptop most of the time.
 
AD Blocker, its free and I havent seen an advert in years... even blocks youtube adverts.

Yeah, im on the pc at the moment, and zero ads, but on phones its harder.

There are browsers and script combinations (like kiwi) that will strip everything off facebook, but its still madness that this forum is getting that bad.
 
I agree fully about advertising but its still classed as serving the advert and some of the adverts are just insanely overt..... I mean why I used to keep getting "grow your penis, is your penis small" adverts.

Incidentally Netflix is getting as bad, I HATE gambling and think the companies that push it on the working class are worse than cancer, each morning I reckon I get 3 mins of adverts for 60 mins of TV and they are all Paddy Power or SKYBET lately. Free spins !!!! Its even got to the point now where the advert plays for 60s then it ****s the bed and sticks on the spinning thing and resumes without picture so you have to restart the app which causes, wait for it... another ruddy advert.

One of the reasons I am going back to DVDs
