AIBU to complain about flickering adverts on forum pages?

I accept that adverts are a necessary way to fund a website and have no problem with that.
However, I find the continuous quick flick from one ad to another just to the right of the forums reading panel really distracting and annoying.
If anyone is epileptic I would have thought that they might be even more of an annoyance. Or is it me that's just being grumpy?
If there has to be a quick turnover of different adverts I think scrolling would be less irritating and distracting. Does anyone agree?

Old iPads don't have ad blockers, I'm afraid Bellanonna, I think it's only available on newer models.

Yes this is about 10 years old now. I’ll just have to keep deleting the wretched things when they start flicking. A real pain. Thanks for the advice anyway.

I use Adblock plus (it's free) as otherwise I'd have a migraine every day!

Too complicated for me. I just lay a sheet of paper on the offending side of my iPad.
