    so hard to read everything with next, next,next.
    Just print the story without all of the next screens.

    The AOL news feed that flashed on the Welcome screen is a waste of time. I clicked on the article about "The Appearance of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt" to read it. I had to click through at least 100 screens and never did get to the end where I would see what the article was about. There were a million other subjects and I kept having to click. It is a total waste of my time to try to find out whatever your headline promises to tell me.

    How about a nice Christmas present for your readers??? No more NEXT PAGE!!!! Or at a minimum put the title item FIRST and not LAST!!!

  • ARNOLD HUNTINGTON commented  ·   ·  Report

    The interesting stories are too drawn out for me. I pursue the ending for a while and then finally give up. Why make us look at so many pages to reach the answer?

  • MICHAEL GILL commented  ·   ·  Report

    I started to read the article on the Lone Ranger, but one of those damned ads kept plowing into the picture. So I quit reading. Thanks a lot. And I have do idea what the ad was about, and I don't care.

    I've been an AOL paid member for 30 or more years. I am sick to death over EVERYTHING on this network being CLICKBAITS. My time is too valuable to waste on **** like this. If if doesn't slow down or stop, you can forget looking for payment from me

    The number of AOL news items with many screens connected by 'next" links is so great that I have stopped reading AOL news. I would guess others have as well.

  • glenn commented  ·   ·  Report

    your stories where you have to hit NEXT a million times is really annoying. its loaded with ads which will install cookies.. it takes 30 clicks to read the story.. i just x out of them so i dont get frustrated.. you need to do something about it

  • Gary Lesser commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hitting "NEXT" repeatedly is very annoying; having the NEXT button's location jump is frustrating. Its easier to just search on the Internet and read it (in its entirety) there. What happened to just scrolling down?

  • JUDITH A. CARLSON commented  ·   ·  Report

    Give me the story the headline indicates without all the background unless you choose to put the background at the END. I'm getting so tired of clicking, clicking, clicking . . . until I finally get to the subject the headline was all about.

    The "News" feed on the welcome page includes multiple sponsored items by DIRECT EXPOSE. Please remove this sponsored company from the NEWS SECTION ... every one of their items leads to other stories and expects you to keep hitting the NEXT button to get to the ADVERTISED STORY. This is NOT NEWS and is an insulting to your customers.

    Stop all of the adds I am getting, I am a paid subscriber, Hard to watch my desktop screen , ADDS keep interfering, Why do I have to pay for that ********* ?? I will be canceling my service soon if things do not change, Pop up adds never stop, Cannot even watch the Welcome page, Pop-up's, Pop-ups, Stop this **** ??

  • Frank Stowers commented  ·   ·  Report

    The ads are causing my e-mails and other AOL windows to freeze. If this is by design to force me to read the ads, it's not working. I just get angry and go to something else.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    How do you expect anyone to read your news feed when ads are popping up on page and covering content. This seems to get worse over time and I am tired of it. Profit seems to be more important than customer service.

  • Alfred commented  ·   ·  Report

    Put the entire article on one page.

  • John commented  ·   ·  Report

    I rarely read your articles. It is soooo irritating to have to hit Next and wait for a new page of ads to load before seeing 1 or 2 more sentences. Note that I will never buy anything from ads and formats that only irritate. Just give me the whole article and have thumbnail ads on the side... that would be ok. Anyone else avoid articles because of this?

  • BlackHawk commented  ·   ·  Report

    Article format includes "Next Page" info that is seemingly endless AND is VERY ANNOYING. Example: Article
    "If You’re In Danger Of Being Carjacked, This Advice From An Ex-Navy SEAL Will Save You
    Annie Price
    By Annie Price
    December 3, 2019"
    PROBLEM: After many "Next Page" diversions, I gave up trying to learn the title info (See article title).
    SCOPE: EVERYONE I KNOW HATES AOL FOR DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    the format of stringing along a reader to read an article by clicking next is annoying beyond belief. if you want me to continue reading anything other than email on this program change the click bait article driven material. Its really annoying

  • Arnold commented  ·   ·  Report

    I pay for AOL. The advertising should be minimized. Most news articles with teasers that I try to read have multiple pages to click "next page" etc. I quit reading as soon as I see that trickery.

  • RICHARD TALLMAN commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLS stop with the stories requiring to click ' next ' , so we can see more ads.
