Perhaps a short diary but here we go. Over the past few days It feels like ads have been getting worse and worse.
For context I use a phone to browse Kos these days. Even before the timeframe of a few days ago, an ad would appear on the bottom of the screen that Completely blocks out my ability to jump to new messages by the username. I hope I'm describing this feature clearly?
Even when I click X and give my reason that the ad was stinkin' intrusive, an ad just as bad would show up, (mostly) blocking my ability to jump to new comments before I could use it again. It feels like these days
Recently it's like I'm browsing the Internet in the mid 2000's or earlier, where ever the stereotype of frequent intrusive popups takes place. An ad naming itself McAfee will yank me to a new page and claim to be scanning my files thousands a second or so.
I don't have sources for either, especially the latter because I always panic backspace out in case it's downloading malicious files onto my phone or something. Perhaps if I ought to I'll get screenshots for evidence at least.
Are people here having a similar experience? Also sorry again. This diary probably isn't exactly well made but phone typing is a chore no matter where I am on the Internet and this is another one of those emotionally crafted diaries, though partially an open question as well.
