ADS
I have been an AOL customer for a long time. I am tired of all the ADS. I cannot even browse without an AD interfering with my searches. Get rid of your ADS or maybe it is time for me to get rid of AOL.

Well, the "Flo" Progressive ad is back, and once again, it's impossible to collapse the ad. What the heck! I've written about this once, and it was fixed. Now it has happened again. I don't understand--this has never been a problem before.

Just so you know hijacking my login and forcing an ad on me before being redirected will result in me NEVER purchasing or considering what ever product appears. At least most ads offer an X out. Thanks for the waste of time.

Please, please get rid of the Stay in the Loop space at the top of your Homepage. If I want to have news alerts, I'll figure out how to get them. AOL's placing ads all over the Homepage is unbelievably annoying!! I'm so very tired of "clicking" things to get rid of them--especially when I didn't sign up with AOL for the constant irritation. Unfortunately you're ruining what was a very good service.

I would love to still be able to access my mail in ANY available way without annoying ads stopping me from accessing what I intended to do. I don’t care to “win” an Amazon card, “spin a wheel for anything” or shop for any product. If I want cable I will contact the cable company in person. If I need something from a big box store, get the picture?? It really is that simple. I would like to take care of my email needs. I do not sign in to email to spend my time attempting to remove the ads. As a matter of fact, annoying Ads make me want to AVOID the businesses that are annoying me. As well as the server failing to let me use my mail. Removing these annoying ADS will result in people wanting to stay with aol for all of their email needs. Now THAT is a creative business idea.

For the first time, I can't collapse the irritating Progressive Insurance ad at the top of my Homepage. Who on this earth isn't sick of Flo!?! Restarting my laptop doesn't work--nothing gets rid of Flo!! AOL is ruining what used to be a good service with too many ads. You're about to lose this customer. Good grief!!

Your ads that expand to impede browsing are beyond annoying. When I see those ads, I close AOL and use another browser for my internet experience. You don't give a rats..bah bye now.

There are suddenly so many ads, one on top of the other, that I can't even read the ads, much less the story.

There are a few sites I see people share that I don't even waste my time clicking because half the time it doesn't work. By doesn't work, I mean the site is so greedy, they stack ads so dense that you don't see the article at all. Every article of yours I've viewed in the last month or two has been like this.
I get it, you still get paid because it's a land on the page, but at what point does the greed completely destroy your base? This is on mobile so maybe on a computer it's actually working (?), But that just goes back to the point about greed, hire the right people to do the job that can program worth a **** maybe instead of saving a buck. It'd make your money back in the long run instead of creating a bad reputation and destroying your ability to get page visits.

I also just received a pop up ad for Peoplewhiz. These sites are often used for extortion---they say they have arrest records, background checks, etc. but they will start billing you on a monthly basis if you click on the ad or especially put a name in for a search.

Your ads waste. the story changes to something different when you click on it. very misleading to push ads.... It complicates reading very poor practice....... Place adds on the side of the content..
NOT in the middle

I come to AOL regularly. I'm on the verge of giving it up, can't get any of the comments after a news article to load, on the occasions they do load, commenting has become a painful experience. The characters don't display as you're typing, a onetime stroke of the backspace erases an entire sentence. Going back to respond to someone who's replied to your comment has become impossible. Do people really pay for AOL? Why?

If you don’t want ads for a free service, then stop using it. If you believe they can operate on nothing then you don’t understand the business model.
