    Ad money
    My idea is for aol to be less greedy for advertising dollars and more user oriented. For instance the headline was supposed to be about security cameras but in order to try to have me read more and, of course, see more ads I was supposed to read the work history of the delivery guy. This scam fails completely because I don't look at the ads and after five or six pages I give up and move on. aol may think that this makes money but in reality users look at aol with contempt as being pathetic

    Your subscribers keep telling you, we hate this. Listen to your customer base. Have a vote to keep or eliminate the Next Page concept.

    Let your subscribers vote on keeping or eliminating the Next Page articles.

    News!! Really??? It is just a leader to suck you in for ads, ads and more ads!! If I quit AOL for good it will be because of the junk you are pushing!! STOP IT!!

  • fritz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop leading your customers on. Who wants to scroll through 50 to 150 pages of the issue you bring up only to find the issue on the home page doesn't come up and in most is non existent??? What you do is a fraud. Anyone with half a brain will go to Google to search for the info and get it immediately instead of going through the nonsense of AOL. Just saying.

    You show a 'story' but when entering to see it, you have to click down so many times I lose interest AND I accidentally click on an ad; never getting to the original story. So I abandon ship. I"m paying for this?

    How can I shut the **** ad off? I'm trying to read and that thing is jumping around. I didn't grow up playing puter games and all that stuff. I know those **** ads are cutsy, but they are also VERY distracting. I don't know why I keep complaining because nothing ever results.

    AOL seems to need to support itself with nothing but stupid advertising. What???? no one is stupid enough to pay you a monthly fee for getting **** and lies delivered to them...you will soon be out of business because no one wants to the **** you are selling.

  • Donna Rodriguez commented  ·   ·  Report

    Make the ads smaller on the right side of the welcome page. It is too distracting.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not sure if news is the right category, but here goes. Now more and more news items as leads on AOL require starting what I call a slide show with the icon of "next" to stroll through your presentation. More often than not, by clicking on "next" the screen moves and the "click" is on a sales promotion by a commercial account that has been moved to where "next" was a several seconds. I, and I assume others, are interested in the news item and NOT a sales pitch. Should we be warned if nothing will be done about this blatant attempt to sell when we are NOT getting a summary of whatever the news item is.

    Reading stories on AOL is pure torture. I rarely can get through a story because of the number of screens and amount of ads included on the pages. It's extremely frustrating as many of the stories I'd like to read but it just takes toooooo long.

  • Arnold commented  ·   ·  Report

    After 20 plus years as a PAYING subscriber, I resent that every news article requires multiple "Next" clicks to ever get to the point.I'm resigned to quit reading ANYTHING you present and soon, i'll also quit paying if it continues.

  • c1coop commented  ·   ·  Report

    I no longer view "NEXT PAGE" Get my news and stories elsewhere!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    At the least, allow an article to be read on only 1 page!!! PLEASE!!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why, now that I pay for AOL, do I have to put up with incessant ads that cover what I'm looking at or reading and sometimes can't even be closed? :(

  • a a commented  ·   ·  Report

    You play tricks getting us to open the news about personalities. It sounds interesting with the news caption then at the end after clicking on the "next" many times there is a BIG disappointment most of the time.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Every front page article that you have makes you scroll through many pages so that we can get to the bottom line so that you can sell more advertisement; Not all of us are about what YOU want to sell.... We pay for the service and it can be provides in a user friendly way. I get so tired of the junk, I won't even open pages any more, or if I do, as soon as I see NEXT PAGE, I leave... It is getting pretty old... It used to be every now and then.... now it is almost every page

  • Kit OBrien commented  ·   ·  Report

    There is an ad on the upper right of the welcome screen. It is a guy sticking his tongue out. IT IS DISGUSTING!! I have tried to opt out of the ad with the link under the picture where it says adchoices. Where can i go to dump these adss. I would prefer to dump them all.
