Is anyone else getting some bizarre ads on the ASOR pages like ear wax removal and women's fashion sites? Is there a way to block them?

I'm accessing almost exclusively on 1 of 2 devices: iphone 6 or chromebook
Its nearly impossible to browse on either, due to CONSTANT ad loading and page shifting - to the point where i cant even get the cursor to stay on a line. shifts up and down relentlessly making me motion sick with the text and ads jumping all over and popping up constantly
I cant be the only one with this problem. somebody help a brother out

I was just thinking the other day how I thought the ads were much more responsive than when the new ad platform was rolled out.If I could post a screen shot I’d show you. There’s more ad content than board content. I have a big banner ad under ASOR banner Then two smaller separate ads one on top of the other at the bottom. The pain in the patooty is when you try to tap on a forum and an ad loads just as you tap and you go to the ad instead of the board

The board loads properly, then the ads file in and move everything around immediately. They do not load in unison with the rest of the content and it has taken away from the user experience, IMO.I sent Posty a couple videos of that earlier tonight. If I weren’t so addicted to this place, it’d frustrate me enough to not come around a lot.
