    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.

    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.

    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.

  • ELLEN PREHARA commented  ·   ·  Report

    I totally agree... Used to be if you paid you had no ads. These ads are truly invasive and I am paying for AOL.. I am getting really annoyed. Ellen Prehara

  • DIANNE CASTELLI commented  ·   ·  Report

    The numerous ads block the content, so you can't even read the article.

  • HENRY BRISEN commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've been a member for over 20 years. Agree wholeheartedly with the printed comment. ALSO... I called for help and was disconnected 3 of 4 times BEFORE I got a person! WTF? I only keep AOL because of my email address. You are NOT helpful, and as soon as I can I will change my email.

  • DANNY BAKER commented  ·   ·  Report

    Stop the popup ads from blinking rapidly as they cause me anxiety until i stop them. this could be hazardous for someone with epilepsy. Please do not allow these ads to do this.

  • VICTOR LOESCHE commented  ·   ·  Report

    I was about to say the same thing. I have a 17"x13" monitor and only 11"x7" of usable space, which is jumping around like crazy every time I try to click on something. The rest of the screen is full on ads. Why am i paying for more advertising than usable content? If you cant fix this crazy system I am quitting AOL after more than 20 years of putting up with this garbage.
