This is by far the most annoying and non-productive action on the part of AOL. Do you not realize that most people won't bother to read the news or article beyond maybe one or two clicks of "Next Page": Do you honestly believe that those even interested in the article are going to take time to look at the advertisements. You're wasting everyone's time and not accomplishing anything other than to upset your users. Please discontinue this process.

It takes forever to see a news item. Page after page after pages to get to the point. Today, I officially stopped reading your news headings.

Get rid of the NEXT stories, as soon as I see NEXT on an article I am interested in I skip it. You show many NEXT and tell me nothing after 15 NEXT, if you want me to read the article let me read the article.

It is so hard to read a story on AOL now. It is frustrating. With the Next and Ads, I look elsewhere to read about that topic.

Making photo captions clickable items rather than have them displayed at the side as was done previously is an idiotic idea. AOL used to be a pleasant experience, but it has gone downhill tremendously. I seem to think it is so that viewers can be bombarded with more of those blasted ads, especially those dmn video ads that are very distracting. But I never grew up playing video games 24/7.

This problem is worse than the constant barrage of robocalls I get every day. About 90% of Internet articles are bloated with filler, and don't get to the point until I have clicked "Next" 35 or 40 times. They could have given you the bottom line immediately, but they wander around endlessly, until you have wasted half an hour, then finally say: "No, Tom Cruise is not gay."

I have all may ads blocked, yet stupid ads are now appearing in my empty e-mail folder. Please stop this practice.

Show the news of what your are saying instead of getting to 10 pages later. Your ads are messing up my computer. Like this dance thing, I was on page 5 and it still hasn't showed the girls dancing you do this to all your news and I am sick of it. I am reading something and another ad comes up and messes up my screen. I think that I am paying to much now for your AOL and getting less for it. Say what you mean on one page not 5 to 10 pages later and get to the point.

When I click on a headline I want THAT story WITHOUT the background, without the back story. It's getting so that I don't even bother any more because I just don't have the time to go through all that **** to get to what the headline promised.

Is there anyone actually working at AOL besides some CEO who is just collecting all the money we have been forced to deposit in AOL. This site stinks.

Now I get an ad displayed when any desktop mail folder is empty. Please stop this intrusion!

I am tired of finding a subject that interest my that AOL highlights on the primary page. It could be 10 important medical issues, etc..I click on it and each of those subjects are listen on seperate pages and must hit " NEXT" to see #2 though #10...of course each page is littered with dozens of pop up adds...I pay over $30 a month for this service...why do I have to put up with this ****? I ask to see 10 items, whatever the subject, I dont want to spend 20 minutes dodging ads and pop-ups just to see the story. Becoming that if I want to know something, I use Explorer or Safari...Of course, I am sure AOL is tracking my usage and going to bombard me with even more pop ups and ads. And I am paying for this poor service. I honestly see no reason to continue to subscribe to AOL and pay the high cost when I can get better performance off of Safari or Explorer and no get the multiple page, ad heavy intrusion. Sometimes there are so many ads and ****, I can only see about 1" of text from the article I am trying to read.

stop the f-----g pop ups you can't read an article with out them interfering the more I see these pops the less I am interested in the product!!!!!!!!

Stop ADs from distracting reading articles !!!!!
I'm the paying customer, you should accept my terms.
People laugh at me for using AOL. I've been a customer from
its inception and am beginning to wonder why I bother with AOL.

Please get rid of the "next" 'Next" NEXT. Unnecessarily lengthens the story with minutiae that is unnecssary and pointless.

Please remove lil gal from my morning addition. Ads are trash may be ****.

I agree 100%. I start to read and article and continue to get popups right in the middle of the article I am trying to read. That's not all, they are relentless. I have got to a point that I go to other browsers so I don't have to deal with it. AOL has gone from bad to worse.

AOL you must think we are all stupid and cannot read more than 30 words at a time and then have to fumble through ads to find the next button and then read another 30 words for our small brains and by that time all of us stupid people just move on to something else.
So we switch to You tube. If it has an ad click to the next piece of news. At least the You tube people respect the fact that we can listen for 5 minutes and actually understand the news. With 3 Degrees I really do not need the news and other stories that you are offering. AND I have been a number since 1985 and pay my 259 per year and cannot even read 1 story that is more than 30 words. We actually work for a living and need concise news and articles. So please hire some smart people to recraft your pages. But you were just purchased by Verizon so it will be down hill from here.

QUICK SHOWING ******** 1 PAGE STORY THAT YOU MUST MAKE INTO A 6 PAGE STORY= GARBAGE USELESS WASTE OF ONLINE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
