    I agree one hundred percent. I no longer read the stories because of this advertising scam.

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Eliminate all the ads that pop up and block one from reading the article or news which I am interested in. So many ads and short sentences to click the NEXT PAGE has a discouraging impact. I have stopped reading many articles because of all of this.

    Tried to read this article After Online Trolls Attacked His Daughter, Comedian Colin Mochrie Quickly Leapt To Her Defense but so many "nexts" that I gave up...please switch to another format..

    I pay for AOL. Why are there so many ads? There are more now since OATH took over than ever before. I will be looking for another provider when my subscription becomes due.

    When trying to read the news you read 4 - 5 lines then you have to go to another page and it sucks. Sometimes you have to change pages 10-20 times. I am getting ready to move from aol because of this.

    So so sick of Boredom therapy I will not buy a thing from those advertisers

  • JOHN TEMPLETON commented  ·   ·  Report

    why does it take so many pages to tell a simple story.if you use a picture as a tease actually use it in the story. i do not look at ads anymore

    Why are we paying for aol with ALL the pop-up ads in articles, having to scroll to avoid the ads, and click to get to the next page to get through a story/article?

  • JIM GROSS commented  ·   ·  Report

    I agree with all that's said and If it's true aol does not read these posts we are all wasting out time Gonna need to get together as a group to get their attention (numbers are power) NEXT and ADS must go Why not have option when close out add option says don't show any more adds not interested

    I tried to read an article and it dropped off and an ad appeared automatically. I highly resent forced ads.

  • jeff WALKER commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am sick and tired of having to go to "next" 10 times to read 10 words ...print the story , give the answer ,tell the info then do whatever else it is you think is necessary .....we pay good money to be "members with no representation" that we shouldn't have to see all that BS

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Ditto. I categorically will not be interested in any product that's in a popup---I now keep a list of such products.

    Oh, and by the way, that means I will NOT be reading any of the articles you publish......Got it??????????????????????

  • Paul Manypenny commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please discontinue "next page" articles....WE ARE NOT READING THEM!!!!!

  • john commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop with the "NEXT" to read a news article! I don't want to be paying for infinite CLICK BAIT! STOP IT!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    The large number of ads surrounding the NEXT icon of a story eventually cause a white screen to appear, ending one's reading of the story. Everything freezes because of the overload. I understand the need for ads but you are going overboard, which acts against the advertisers since one clicks off to something else. Also the NEXT icon has a tendency to move around so one inadvertently clicks on an ad when the intention is to click on the NEXT. If the motion of this icon is deliberately done then it's not nice. If it's inadvertent then it's because there are just too many ads. Less ads would encourage people to click on some.

    This is very annoying. I will no longer read any of your stories that are set up this way.

  • Don commented  ·   ·  Report

    Looking at any news or information item on your welcome screen is becoming harder & harder due to ads over ads, popups on top of popups. Pointless! I seldom try to open an item on the welcome screen any more, and soon will quit trying altogether. The more you multiply these ads on top of ads, the less looks you'll get, and soon your advertisers will wise up and quit.
