    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!!!!!!!!!!!

    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

    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.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Delete all in recently deleted.
    If you want us to read some of your special stories please don't makes us go through 20 NEXT because I seldom read them anylonger because of that. Have a Very Merry Christmas.

    I gave up on trying to read the story on I Dream of Jeanie because those friggin' ads kept plowing into the lower right corner. I know they are cute and catchy, but the f..k'n things are distracting. I shut them off and they come right back. I don't watch them, and consequently I don't get to read the rest of the story. I don't know why I keep responding to this **** because nothing ever seems to happen.

    Your 'news' articles can sometimes be interesting but you ruin my wish to read the article because you present it with this 'NEXT' before you tell me anything about it STOP with the click-bait. After all the years I have been with aol I often wish I had chosen another service to begin with.
    I won't recommend you to anyone..

    mute pop-up ads

    While trying to read the article on MASH, I was constantly annoyed by an an that kept playing in the bottom corner. I'd hit the "x" to get rid of it, but it kept coming right back. About like trying to throw away a boomerang. I guess it is my own fault because I keep thinking that things will improve rather than for me to just throw AO(hel)L in the dust bin.

    Using "NEXT" on almost every news item is cumbersome and time consuming for those that even try anymore. I stopped reading beyond the first time it says NEXT PAGE.

    You folks have expired my patience with Advertising

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am getting very very tired of all the adds when I click on a story I feel I pay enough to not having to put up with them . and I will not buy anything from them just for spite !

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have not been able to finish one news item because of your stupid "next Page" and the text covered with Ads. Therefore I just quit reading anything but the headlines. Worse than the National Enquirer. Don't ever purport to be a news media. You are just a format for anti-Trump. Your bias is so clear. And why don't you respond to this and similar complaints. COWARDS

    Google AND AOL appear to be destined for distinction... WE ARE SICK SICK OF THE ADS as a "PAYING" AOL subscriber

  • DeWayne commented  ·   ·  Report

    Kinda kills the element of surprise for Xmas and Birthdays when other people see what you have been looking to buy.

    Kill all the ads for people who have a yearly subscription. The free web based, give them the ads.
