    Its really annoying and disgusting asking subscribers to constantly click next after every sentence in a page full of ads that no one reads. Need to change your format its turning customers away. If if something is important give customers a chance to read on one page and not having to click an unending number of next, next next etc. Subscribers may probably read the ads if the ads and the complete story, documentary news etc. are on the same page. This would definitely be a more attractive format

    Get rid of this
    This endless page to page page by next next next next is rediculas. If the story is worth reading , put it in a form to do so..NEXT!!!!

    Was just trying to read a story on Trendchaser, but those damned ads kept plowing in to the lower right corner. Damned distractions. This is my last experience with that site.

  • Al Fauvell commented  ·   ·  Report

    When I click on a story that I would like to read it turns out to be false or exaggerated story. Then I am put on some add site that I am not interested in and start to receive spam and junk mail.

    Clicking next and closing a bunch of unnecessary pop up useless adds that block the article. I don't like paying for marketing harassment.

  • JERRY D SMITH commented  ·   ·  Report

    ALREADY SAID IT ALL !!! AT LEAST PUSH THESE STUPID, STUPID ADS TO THE SIDES.... CAN'T READ A THING WITHOUT IDIOTIC ADS.

  • Patti commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not only are you doing a disservice to your advertisers (as soon as I see "next" I close it), but you're annoying your subscribers to no end. Nice touch too-it deliberately jumps up & down so when you get frustrated & click too fast, you end up on something else. As a paying subscriber, you need to start considering why we signed up for it in the first place - info & stories we WANT to read about - without having to put up with endless ads. Nothing more than greed, but people are going to start going elsewhere. Sorry AOL, but don't think you're the only game in town!

    clicked on story on Welcome screen and a totally different story pops up.

    It is so frustration to have to click next each time and deal with all the ads.

    I want a delete option on my computer screen to get rid of offensive ads. Get those girls in underwear off of my computer screen!

  • dawn lovelace commented  ·   ·  Report

    All ads need a visible X to enable someone to delete any pop-up ad.
    Not an invisible one, not a grey one, but a black visible X to delete pop-ups. And yes I have the no pop-ups setting on - doesn't seem to matter.

    If AOL does not change the way we read news,as it's a pain **********,to have to keep clicking page after page,I will resort to reading all my news on another ISP such as Yahoo. I am 68 with terminal cancer and don't need the aggravation. Whoever thought this up should be fired. I guess advertisers are more important then members who have been loyal to AOL for almost 20 years.

  • Valerie Jones commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have had AOL been paying for decades..lets do only 20 yrs X $239. ==$4,780 (estimated cost)
    ............I truly am about to print all documents that are on aol mail etc. Use another connection. AOL I do Not pay to be annoyed and to sit to read something for 20 minutes clicking for each paragraph. When I could read in a matter of less then 5 minutes. You want to pay me for using AOL? Actually it is not worth even being paid to read and CLICK. Stop all the POP UP ADS I have BLOCKED but you still have them pop up. There are to many alternatives to use and will drop AOL.
    If everyone that PAYS AOL to be annoyed would drop paying AOL. Would be the best thing for corporation people that walk over paying customers.
    WISE UP if you are in business you need to respect paying customers...........

    I'm about through with news stories cuz the screen doesn't have anythin but ads coverin everythin

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The pop-up adds are relentless!!!! Get rid of them already. I'll exit an article mid-way because of all those darn interruptions. I'm sick of it, and I'm sick of AOL GOLD!!!!!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    AOL consistently layers ads on top of news stories and pictures. STUPID.
    It generally causes me to just move on to something else (and miss all your profit making ads).

  • JERRY PORTER commented  ·   ·  Report

    STOP WITH THE POP-UPS!!!!! I pay you $30 per month and I don't want this ****. If you want me and others to continue paying, then STOP IT!!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    I try to read some of the interesting articles and could have covered the whole list, if all the ********* advertisements would't cover the whole **** page, and every next click, ******* the ads pop up. I pay the higher premiums x 2 for two of us. If you don't care keep not giving me that option to pass on, 30 years with you? one thing I used and still is e mails that run my business and clicks after 1st one at night don't wake me up. You got mail repeated does. Sad I have to use other means and soon will make a change if you don't.

    I am offended by the pro-abortion ads on my welcome screen. PP is nothing more than 'murder for hire".

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report
