This one is aimed at IOS and ad creators.
「whiskey tango foxtrot」 are these 「wee-wee」 wads on with their super childish count down timers?
3 seperate timers to end an ad is pixonic level frustrating.
The " bar graph" style timer along the bottom of the screen ends, oh great the ad is done but no.... Another "clock" timer counts down in the top right corner, okay whatever.
Press the "X" to close the ad and guess what? Another 3 second timer starts up! Are you 「fluffernutter」ing serious?
Which 「fluffernutter」ing Einstein at iOS is allowing this 「fluffernutter」 wittery to occur? Not to mention if you click one thousandths of a millimetre (nice metric to imperial conversion there) outside the "X" area the 「fluffernutter」ing app store opens up.
「fluffernutter」 off you 「fluffernutter」ing 「rooster」 smokers. Dont you know who I am? I'm going to ring Steve Jobs and give him a piece of my mind..... Oh nevermind!

I will no longer watch ads. The heck with that noise. It is such a waste of time for me. I got better things to do. Blaz had his thingo to get free stuffs. It involved watching a few ads. I thought, what the heck, might as well give it a go, until the very first ad was a three parter. Nope. I’m out. Not doing that. I’ve only watched one ad since early November when I took a break from the game for twoish months. It was the one for operation “x”. Not sure which one, but it was worth one ad watch. But no more thank you.

And how about ads within ads? Ridiculous!

The ads on Amazon do the same thing, so it may not be device-specific. I don't really know.
There was a stretch of time where the ad server really had my racial demographic wrong, but I learned a lot.

" pixonic level frustrating." priceless Nah, my favorite was "「fluffernutter」wittery. " Priceless. So, Posse-member we gotta score this one. It's nuanced, riot-inciting, it'll take us a while. We need to get busy. |

Actually thanks to the stupid payouts by the flippin' Keno giveaway my ad watching is WAY down from where it was, just naturally down. Gimme something worthwhile and I'll watch an ad now and/or then.

Yeah, the ads have gotten insane lately, it really makes me fear what lies down the line with them. This is worst I have seen:
1. 15 seconds to select an ad from two choices (can be skipped by quickly selecting an ad, so this is not too bad)
2. 30 second ad of stupid puzzles or generic zombie apocalypse
3. 15 second playable demo that usually just pulls up the App Store when you try to interact with it
4. 5 second final screen showing the app before you can leave
So yeah, literally over a full minute per ad! The only time worth spamming ads for me is when a big Disney property is releasing (Star Wars and Marvel mainly), because then all the ads are for that and they are usually 15 seconds, sometimes only 10 or even 5, and automatically close themselves upon completion. Plus, they are professionally produced and edited ads, not the sludge that the mobile game industry is known for. I have fond memories of watching 20 back-to-back ads for The Mandolorian Season 2 and absolutely flying through my hangar chores!

The best ad I ever got was actually a war robots ad. I think it was one of the rip off ads, but regardless, IT WAS 3 SECONDS LONG!! It was around for a while, just a Loki shooting at you with spirals on the Canyon map. It passed unfortunately so now i'm stuck with a 30 second ad that's in 3 10 second parts, each part takes 40 seconds to load to begin the 10 second wait, and then it takes 2 minutes to finally close an ad. What a behemoth.

The best is when you workshop something, and the algorithm says, “what? G needs another Shock Train?”
Spend an hour on these two ads for 20 shards….
The generosity astounds.

If there is a small exclamation mark somewhere on the screen, or a picture of a palm holding a shield with a tick on it, click it. Sometimes the ad can be reported. For such irritating ads, i will report it if its possible and usually after awhile i won't see that ad anymore.

What about the adds that flip the screen upsidedown and hold it there? I really hate those.
