Ads getting worse at making site unusable on mobile

On top of pages occasionally getting stuck loading an ad and stalling so that you need to refresh just to progress, some of the ones embedded in threads are now so large that they make it impossible to navigate the page.

Have had this one twice in the last few minutes in the middle of a thread, and once reached it is impossible to scroll past or back up.

I know mate, trust me I’m not doing this. It’s Google Adsense.

They have this feature called auto ads and it stickies ads to the top, bottom, and all over the screen.

I didn’t really know what it was at first, as they used to be known as pop up ads.

Anyway I’ve limited the amount of sticky ads on the Adsense settings menu, and hopefully you should see less of it.
