Unwanted gransnet videos.

LilyGransnet

Hello everyone

If you hover your mouse over the video in the thread, does a 'X' button appear?

None of which rectifies the black screen appearing on my iPad.

What can be done to stop this?

I'm getting suggested activities from IKEA for kids during lockdown - what are these adverts and videos?
Bargain basement adverts?
Was there a half price sale of videos at Blockbuster?

PLEASE DO SOMETHING GNHQ

Is it some sort of trial then? ?
(It’s certainly one for us. Ha ha ha)

Hate them. Please get rid of them!!

What with all these adverts and the one from some Pilates class about "A pain in the BUM, I can't concentrate or even focus on what I am wanting to read or write, Or is it just little old me?

Driving me mad too! It's bad enough when they are in the middle of the screen, but I am now getting them at the bottom right to. Click them off, but as soon as I click on another thread they reappear!!

I'm getting endless pop ups since yesterday .

I’m currently being bombarded by videos of kids eating in various establishments (Brewers Fayre, something called Pho); at school; at home.
And the faux TV newsy MN ones.
It’s really peeing me off.
It’s not just the ads per se, it’s also the asinine content of them.

I didn’t have the annoying videos until yesterday. But they’re coming thick and fast now. Very distracting and annoying.

They are very annoying. I hope they disappear soon.

The adverts will improve as time goes on - we're sorry that some are dated. You should be able to close the advert by clicking the X button.
I DO NOT want the adverts AT ALL

The cross to delete does not appear on the large ones inserted into the thread and I should not have to delete them anyway because I do not want to see them in the first place.

Is this type of advert intended to be a permanent feature?

If having to tolerate these adverts is the price for accessing Gransnet, it is most definitely not worth it.

I may be tempting fate, but somehow I don’t get them on the “big” iPad but DO on my mini and phone - so both settings , desktop and mobile and they annoy the hell out of me.

This is what they look like on my Nokia 7.2
Irritating, aggravating and completely counter-productive if these posts are anything to judge by.
Goodbye, GN. I'm outta here.

Or offer us an ad free zone if we pay

A couple of years ago Mumsnet introduced Mumsnet Premium where you could pay in order to not get ads.
It was really unpopular.
I’m not sure what happened to it, as I migrated to GN about the same time, and I rarely go on it now.
I’m even less unlikely to go there now too, now I’m being pestered to at every turn!

As the expression goes ‘they are doing my head in!’. As soon as I click off, another arrives a few seconds later - Betty Crocker, IKEA, you name it!

On my Samsung phone the small pop-up videos are repeats of larger adverts which I don't mind scrolling down through. But the videos mask the GN messages and I can't make the videos disappear even by clicking on the x. I'm another one who won't be on Gransnet if this continues. Which I assume it will!

None on my iPad but I do have an adblocker.

This is really putting me off Gransnet. I am getting fed up of having to press the X on every thread!

No, the advert on the right (same subject as the video) does have a X but the large video in the middle of the posts doesn't, LilyGransnet. There's no way of getting rid of them. They're not adverts, they're Gransnet videos.
Like YouTube videos.

I haven’t seen any yet.

So am I the only person not getting any and if so why ?

The damn ads appear on my smartphone. Sometimes it is easy to click on the x to rid them, other times I have to click several times. The ads really spoil GN for me so I will use much less often now.

I haven't had them until today but now I have constant pop up videos in the bottom of my phone screen. I click them off but there's another one before I get to the bottom of the page.
Sorry but if this isn't sorted by tomorrow I shall be signing out and not returning.
