    for years I have complained about too many adds....today I wanted to read a story and there were 12 adds and a video on the same page .....enough is enough...after 20 years of AOL i am going to give it up...consider this my notice

    The advertisements you attach on the right side of the list of mail messages are sometimes virtually pornographic. The ad control button does not seem to work for them. In particular, we've recently been seeing one from "Venus" which pops up frequently.

  • FRANK PAYNE commented  ·   ·  Report

    These ads do not need to be at the top of the page. I immediately scroll down so they do not show-- just as I know most of your users do!!!
    So, they are basically worthless to the people who pay for them and simply disgusting to your users because of the placement.
    Please Stop this!!!!

    Ads shows up on the confirmation window when deleting emails.

  • GORDON MELLO commented  ·   ·  Report

    The large 'banner ads' at the top of the pages are distracting. Chances are, I would never buy/utilize what is being offered. I would even pay more if I could totally eliminate ads from the AOL pages.

  • RALPH TECHNOW commented  ·   ·  Report

    Kindly remove the paid advertisements. So I can check emails and just use my AOL Desktop Gold freely. I am paying member and subscriber of AOL Desktop Gold for over 25 years, so I have allegiance to AOL

    NOW THAT AOL IS A PAY SERVICE (WELL I PAY FOR IT ANYWAY)... I ABSOLUTELY HATE ALL THE NEXT SCREEN NEWS ITEMS. I DO NOT MIND A CONTINUED ON PAGE WHATEVER, BUT TO HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY FLIP THROUGH A NEWS ITEM FOR THE COMPLETE STORY IS NUTS. I MAY HAVE TO CHANGE. I LOVE THE NEWS, BUT NOT WHEN IT IS SO HARD TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE REAL STORY.

  • ARNOLD HUNTINGTON commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'm sure that almost everyone notices, that when following one of your "hour long " stories you are required to chase down the "next page " bar over and over again, to select. Unless we are careful to wait for the bar to settle down, you will inadvertently pick up an advertisement.
    Do you guys really have to do that to satisfy the advertisers? STOP it please!

    Here's an idea: stop posting repulsive ads such as this one:

    "Take A Look Inside Jen Psaki's Repulsive Life"

    Keep the radical right out of my living room. If it's not Jen Psaki, it's Hilary Clinton's "repulsive home". If you're allowing such ads, you're unethical and irresponsible - and creepy.

    Please stop this click bait on news stories by having to click next. I will not participate. JUST REPORT THE NEWS IN A FULL PAGE

  • Qquincy Qu commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have tried to read some of the stories that you post, But to no surprise.Ads pop up in "FRONT" of the story i am trying to read. Why not have the ads run below or to the side of the story.

    And I don't think it is a "cute" or "slick" idea to have the next button move as you are about to click to the next page in the story.

    I know you won't fix these issues so I have just stop reading them. So with me your ads don't get viewed and I don't think your advertisers really want that.

    I am surprised that someone has not complained about this to the companies who run these ads.

  • JUDITH A. CARLSON commented  ·   ·  Report

    Advertisements that "flash," i.e. change images automatically, are VERY annoying. The Lilicloth one today (11/25), for example, makes me so annoyed that there is no way I would order from that company.

    SHORTEN YOUR STORIES AMD KEEP TO IT WITH OUT SIDE TRACKING

  • WANDA KEARNEY commented  ·   ·  Report

    Suddenly there are many times the AD you have at the right side of Emails...covers up the X so you can close the email. PLEASE FIX We get tons of ads...do not need one blocking getting out of a email!

  • Kenneth E McPeak commented  ·   ·  Report

    For sure AOL is abusing its ability to force ads on we the paying customer. Sometimes the ads are so many, flashing all the time, that I just stop reading the article. In my opinion, AOL just does not give a ---- about their customers, it just about money.

  • BILL CAREY commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please stop posting these political ads as news.
