Ad Spam on NS via Mobile is really bad

Postby Solorni » Tue Nov 13, 2018 8:21 am

For some reason, lately when I'm browsing NS on my phone all of a sudden a message will start playing loudly "Warning, your phone is running critically low on power..." before I shut NS off. This doesn't happen with any of the other sites I visit on my phone....

That's why I always have the volume for media turned off on my phone. Too many awkward moments from ads :p

It's been a bit of a nightmare honestly. I love being forced into the app store by a disembodied voice telling me I need their scam program in order to continue running my phone.

That's why I became a site supporter and never seen an ad since then.

And on a more serious note, yeah, I know these kind of ads are pretty annoying.
just good old NS stats

Just coming in with my two cents...

I browse NS almost exclusively on my iPad, and once I start getting redirected to scam sites out of nowhere, it’s usually a sign that I need to update iOS.
If you have issues on iOS, clear your browser history from the settings and update your software. It always fixes the problem for me.
Maybe it’s the same for those loud ads you guys are getting? I dunno, never seen them before.
Black lives matter
