I pay for this service, cut out all the ****. When i delete something from my mail a big ad pops up i buy nothing from a pop up. i like most of the other folks that have AOL since the beginning are wandering away because of it. The 50 folks in my group are very soon moving if something are not done about all the ads on the paid AOL

How can I stop this " popsicle " from coming on my computer with the " next page, next page, next page, next page " ?

can't stand AOL welcome page! too many ads, ridiculous attention getting headlines, too many pages to read one story.....all that movement. I've been with AOL since the late 90's.........and now am paying 4.99 a month to keep my email account..........sorta crazy to put up with all the jibberish

buy from an annoying ad like the NEXT ads??

dating service on advertisement on right should be removed

The 'traps' are particularly annoying, forcing unwanted ads on us if we 'click before its time.

there are way too many ads and 'traps' that try to fool you into clicking on them. They take up almost the entire screen. VERY annoying!

I agree. AOL drags article out so much that I give up reading some of them. The should use the KISS rule.

AOL's expanded stories are often very interesting, and I follow them UNTIL the "Next Page" banner starts jumping around so that I invariably are directed to some advertiser or other INSTEAD of the "next page" At this point I abandon the story and stop paying ANY attention to the ads.

You seem to have the ability to spend more time saying less than I thought possible. If you are going to tell a story do it. Spreading a one page story over ten pages is annoying and stupid.

Why does AOL insist on taking a brief news article and make a novel out of it. You have to click on "next page" many, many times to get to the point. I am not interested in a persons life history to read about the current issue. Why can't you be brief and to the point on your issues. I had one article that I had to click on over 20 times to get to the issue at hand. Get real AOL. You should post who, what, where and when, not the life history of everybody involved. Therefore, I do not choose to read many of your postings.

The NEXT PAGE jumps down.It is hard enough to scroll so far down but now you have to chase it and usually end up missing it and hitting whatever stupid ad is there and have to start over. Can't you give us a break from this during quarantine? Maybe forever? Have a heart. Get rid of the ads entirely would be best.They are an aggravating annoyance. Torture. No one is interested in any of them.It just makes us upset.

Taboola is click bait junk. Please screen their ads and make them clean it up or cancel them. It is the fault of AOL to allow this scam artist junk.

When you run a story in the "Welcome" box, it requires you to go page by page with "fluff" text. Why not run the entire story on one page and remove the garbage text. Get to the meat of the article as soon as possible. Going page by page is "VERY SLOW" even with high speed internet. It also starts bouncing adding advertisements just as your about to click "next" which then brings up an unwanted advertisement. If I'm going to pay for service then "PROVIDE SERVICE" and condense the story's to one page that you scroll through.

So frustrating to start a read on a story and a popup ad covers half the story. I remove it, and window wants to know why. Because I have to navigate through the maze of ads to read what used to interest me, that's why! 9 times out of 10, I just decide it's not worth the hassle and move on. And then there is the human interest story that catches my interest, but I have to go through 10 or more pages of it's history to get to the real headline. Again, it's less frustrating to move on and forget it. AOL used to be so much better. What has happened? Never mind, I know, the all mighty dollar.

Quit making me click through twenty ads to read an article. If I wasn't using my AOl address for so many things I would drop you.

HOW TO STOP THE CONSTANT FLICKERING ADS !!!

I have been an aol user for a very long time and enjoy most of your articles (stories), but it seems more often these days that the story does not get to the point, instead there are page after page going into many unnecessary details. Then after many pages of unneeded time wasting details the conclusion is reached...which could have been done in a page or 2 and sometimes never even gets to the story's intended conclusion.

Scrolling down was the way to go. Next doesn't work for me when you drag it out to reveal commercials. It was much better when AOL was free.
