    Stop making it impossible to delete offensive advertising! I'm a woman over 75, widowed for 15 years, in good health. I don't want to see ads for dangerous medications or "information" about diseases that affect only men. Since AOL and Yahoo merged with Verizon, everything about your focus has sunk to the lowest level imaginable.

    Stop all of these small advertisements that prrvent me from reading the news

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am continually hit in the face with comments in the food and lifestyle areas SLAMMING BOOMERS. It would seem to me that this is something that AOL would be concerned about, because it is a derogatory statement against a GROUP of people, which I am a member of. How do I get some response to this?

    I was "TRYING" to read the piece Historical Past, but those damned ads kept playing and flopping around on the screen including an Avstar (?} ad. I don't know how in the **** you expect anyone to concentrate when all this is going on. My guess is that you are a bunch of teens who spend their days playing video games and are used to this kind of ****. The **** things drive me up a wall, and I just quit what I was reading and go somewhere else. I'm of the opinion that no one reads these things.

    I am so sick of seeing ugly wrinkled faces on your screen! Stop showing this ad

    I purchased from Mia Belle Baby advertised on your site. They are a bogus Chinese company that has a myriad of complaints online and with the Better Business Bureau. I ordered on 5/15, was told it shipped 5/27, and was given an invalid USPS tracking number. Research companies that you allow to advertise on your site to protect consumers from frauds like them

    I Agree a lot of stories I would like to see and you have to go thru 90 slides to see what you want
    with 100 Pop Ups Around It... Probably Will Cancel Service Soon....

    You are driving your long time users (20 years) crazy. Most news windows you present require you to click on a hot link which is totally expected, but then you drag a story out for window after window with continue button after continue button. Often times the continue button is so confusing that we go off into some commercial. I know why you do it - so we will get exposed to more ads, and I hate it - often times I just give us and storm off. This frustrating approach will in the end, cause me to leave. You raised our rates and handicapped us in using one of the features that makes you unique. Not cool AOL. Listen to us!

    Tired of the garbage stories on Welcome page. Most is nonsense and if you do want to read about it have to go thru many pages and many ads. May have to cancel my account! I'm paying for this!

    POP-UPS everywhere!!!!! PLEASE!!!!! Tell us how to get rid of them once and for all. Don't tell us to "Opt Out"... that, like other AOL things, doesn't work! Hey.... and how about a response?????

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Also, get rid of the little "jump" on the web page that causes one to open some blooming advertisement I have no interest in.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    AGREED. However, there is a way around AOL stuffing all of the advertising down your throat. Open the artical, copy the title and go to a search engine, preferably DuckDuck.com and paste it and hit search....VOILA, the same story on one page that AOL plagiarized.

    complete uninterrupted articles,without click bait. Stop the long drawn out informatio. ,too many adds

  • Luis Santiago commented  ·   ·  Report

    Your excessive use of ads makes it very difficult to follow a news thread. Users have to go through multiple screens to get to the highlighted news substance and even the news are surrounded by so many ads that you end up with a very small news screen. That may be one of the reasons many of us are using accounts from other providers, which are totally free more and more. I understand your need for ads, but it is becoming too much.

  • ELENE MILLER commented  ·   ·  Report

    Shorten the TEASERS down to 3 pages instead of 20+ I don't bother to click on them anymore. Not interested in ads, just want to read the item and get back to my work!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I pay for AOL. I should not be bothered with adds. I know how to look up things that interest me. I don't want adds on the page. I realize that you probably make money from every add that I am forced to click on because the next bar jumps up or down when I'm trying to click on next.to make matters worse each page only gives me one sentence at a time. If you got rid of the adds it wouldn't take twenty or so next bars to get through it. This is a ****** way to treat paying customers.

  • garywnc commented  ·   ·  Report

    I NO LONGER READ "CONTENT" ... SIMPLY, AS A RESULT OF DISGUSTING ADVERTISING... I MAY SOON BECOME A NON-PAYING SUBSCRIBER

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report
