Anyone else get ads between posts that OPEN when you try to swipe past?

May 23, 2019 10:34 PM

I tested it about a half dozen times, thinking I tapped instead of swiped. Nope. Swiping opened the ad. Imgur, I am disappoint.

Edit instead of double dipping comment: surely this is an accidental and temporary oversight and will not be a trend in the future.

Much pissed. Very fuck that

you can swipe past them, and they will open and play sound. It's great at midnight when your sound is turned up for alarm clocks

@OP I'm sorry to hear about this experience. Ads that automatically redirect you are in breach of our advertising policy 1/?

Thank you taking the time to respond. I wouldn’t let the redirect load, and the add itself looked like a loading icon, so I’m not sure >>
