Very annoying pop up videos

Any one remember the old saying "cloth ears"?

PLEASE HQ TELL US WHAT YOUR COMMENT
‘WORKING ON IT’ MEANS. 👋👋👋👋👋👋

Last night there must have been a problem with the video as I was getting a black screen with the circulating, not loading thingie.

I am sooooooooo fed up with seeing the makeover ladies, over, and over, and over again.

I say Good morning to them but yes, it's not solving the problem of annoying pop-up videos on the side of the screen and in the middle of threads.

I think it's a case of put up and shut up.

Driving me mad

Here’s the link.

Can you read this or is it too small?

Mumsnet HQ are working on it ……

I thought so Fanny.

I wonder what HQ means by ‘we are working on it’ 🤔

Yes, Kate they are GN branded videos with adverts attached

I’m confused, have GN commissioned these annoying adverts (I suspect they have) or have the advertisers infiltrated this website?

Their comment to you FarNorth appears ambiguous.

What do others think ?

I've had an email from LilyGransnet saying "We're taking notice and working on it, honest."

On Mumsnet, I don't seem to be getting the little ones in front of posts any more.
May be progress.

I think some of the make up ones are gross.
Puts me in mind of an undertakers prep for viewing room.

They were making money presumably before these intrusive videos Amber. I would rather pay a fee.

I don’t want to breastfeed thanks Amber now I can’t read your post properly as there s three women trying to show me how to put make up on

Like I said, I’m not a huge fan of them - but how else do you expect the site to make money and keep going if you want it to be a free resource?

I don't mind the ads between posts but it's annoying when they jump in front of what I'm trying to read .
Are you happy with those ones Amber?

I’d actually prefer it if they were proper ads Amber, that’s the point that I’ve been trying to make.
I just wish that someone from HQ would come on and explain it

If you have an ad blocker app on your i-phone, try:
deleting that app,
upload another App - Adblock is the most popular free one - making sure you get the latest version.
During the 2 years I had Adblock to my knowledge I was not advised there were any ‘latest updates’.
As it is free it is entirely possible you have to do it yourself.
Worth a try Fanny.

Maybe copying the very annoying Facebook ads. Just makes people leave, is all. If they really need ads, perhaps group them all together at the end so they can be avoided.

Are you an i-pad, phone or laptop user Fanny ?
I am i-pad.

Nah. It’s exactly the same

White rabbits back atcha Tilly! 🐇 🐇 🐇
Thank you, I’ll try that too
