Your commercials are covering 90% of the articles that you offer, making it impossible to read anything! It's an insult to your subscribers. Why do you do this? After 30 years on AOL I'm seriously considering ending my paid subscription to AOL. Is that what you want? Whose bright business idea was this? Are you selling underwear or an internet provider? I'm sure that no one else has complained.........

Since we now pay a monthly subscription for AOL, why do we continue to have advertising? It slows everything down, to the point of waiting and waiting for emails to open. Sometimes the content is never shown at all. Why does everything take so much longer, now? Your software badly needs to be updated. It's just so frustrating to have to wait and wait. Sometimes it even freezes the software, completely, to the point of having to restart my computer. I've been with AOL since the beginning. I first had Compuserve and Prodigy, but changed in the early nineties. When it was dial-up, I never had problems with it making my computer freeze-up. It shouldn't be so difficult to get my email.

i AM PAYING FOR GOLD AND CANNOt read news content because of ads blocking on left, right, top and bottom.

People telling me AOL is for the elderly. Maybe they are right.

Above -- "next page" is very annoying. Provide an interesting article and let us read it without having to click next page after every short paragraph. And while I'm at it, have your staff take a remedial course in proper grammar/spelling and topic choices that don't overstate braless, see-through, jaw dropping, headlines that usually have nothing to do with the trashy story.

I agree and for that reason I don't click on articles that have the "Next".

Very annoying to have to click "Next" to see a whole story.
Now that you require a monthly subscription, it seems like I shouldn't have to click "Next" page after page when I look at a story. I know it gets you advertising dollars, but is very frustrating to have to go page after page to finally find out the whole story.

why when I go to an article I want to read I spend most the time "X"ing POP-UPs It's got o bad I only use AOL for for my Emails andvorite Places and getting away from that now.Go to other sites for articles

Overlapping ads on my AOL home screen> need it to go away please. Tired of trying to call you to fix it!

Sick of these stories with repeated 'next page' messages in order to read the story. All I see with this nonsense are numerous ads (WHICH I DON'T WANT). Stop that garbage!!

STOP this stupid 'next page' 'next page' 'next page' stories. They seldom get read. Only thing we have to look at are loads of dumb ads. I shouldn't have to pay to read that garbage.

I have signed up twice during the last month to get AOL ad free applications and I am still being overwhelmed with advertisements. Why am I paying for something that U don't have despite the fact that I have paid for it (twice)

Please consider removing the advertisements on the AOL Desktop Gold.

I agree it not only irritating aol keeps displaying old new over and over again

AOL continuously increases the ads. Can no longer view or read content without being blocked by ads. It is just not worth the effort to try and read stories. Ads now take most of the window leaving about 2 inches for reading or viewing content! You have now reached a point where people no longer look at the content. I guess it is true when everyone remarks that AOL now means "Ads On Line"! You should spend more time fixing everything that was messed up when AOL Gold was launched instead of putting additional ads on the website. Adding more benefits does nothing!!! No one needs it if they no longer use AOL to view content! I have used AOL pretty much from the beginning but you are now forcing me to look elsewhere. Ads have done this which defeats the purpose of ads. What good are they if no one view them anymore.

No conscience, torturing our minds and eyes with these ads. This practice borders on absolute EVIL. It seems to me that you only have the interesting articles so we can get bombarded with 17+ ads on every inch of the screen, most of them unrelated to my interest but many show invasive tracking of my browsing.

Stop Ad pop ups over article text. I find it very annoying to try to read your welcome screen articles with ads constantly popping up over the text.
I understand that they generate income for you but it appears to me there is sufficient space in the boarders of the articles to display the ads.

Pls. don't send me any more ads for automobiles. I realize about a month ago, I clicked on an article about cars but that doesn't mean I'm interested in buying a new one. I'm interested in pet supplies and J.C. Penney items.

The ads on the stories that say "Next Page" overlay the story itself.I (and many others) exit the sites that say Next Page because we can't see the story with ads n top of it. As soon as I (and all of my friends) see "Next Page" we close out of the story. This defeats the ads since they are never seen.

The constant advertising popups are absurd and annoying! If I am paying for AOL, then AOL needs to make things better for me, the customer! If I order an item from a company, it doesn't mean I want the remaining other companies worldwide that I want to hear from them selling me one of what I already ordered. If I search for something, likewise I get a barrage of e-mails telling me that I searched for something they might have or know something about. AOL gives access of my information to others and that is disconcerting!
