Anybody else getting full page pop-ups

The last few days I’m getting full page pop up style ads when moving between threads here at PA. I have to close the ad or go back and click the link again

Anybody else?

I'm using a computer with no add blocker and I get adds in the middle of threads, but I haven't gotten full page pop up adds yet.

I am testing out Google's new "AI Optimization" where it decides where it should place ads for my benefit...lol

I guess it's not working out too well.

It's entirely possible it has decided that full page popover ads are the way to go on mobile platforms...

I can disable it...

Let me know in the next day or so if you're still getting them.

Thanks.

I was getting smaller ads right in the posts themselves, occasionally.
Looked like attachment images a bit.
None the past couple of days.

Yeah, I think those are still turned on...

It's tough to make a buck around here...

No, the full pagers on mobile weren't bringing in all that much...believe me...if I thought it was worth it, I would have left it on...lol

It didn't bother me, because I could still read the full posts.
I found a few of them funny, like Boxcar posting about masks not needed and a big ad for MASKS right in the middle of it, like he was being sponsored!

Hey, you get your kicks where you can these days at home!
