Those annoying ads in Site Updates (Josh)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been getting a few messages here and there about some of the ads that are showing up being annoying or full screen takeovers of some kind.

I take this kind of thing super seriously, and that’s unacceptable. I’m doing some research into how I can disable them.

If you see any ad that’s super annoying and you have the ability, please capture a screenshot (or tell me a bit about what you’re seeing) and send me an email. It would also be helpful if you could share whether you were on a phone, tablet, or computer so I can narrow it down.

We’ll get to the bottom of this!

For now though, Mochi and I are going to bed. It has been a looong day.

Update 8/20: I think I’ve fixed all of the full-screen issues as well as the ads inserting themselves into entries over the past few days. For whatever reason, Google automatically turned on their new “auto ads” feature and cranked it to the MAXXXXX. I’ve scaled things back down to where they were, and am pretty sure we’re back to normal.

Thanks to all of you that reached out, do let me know if the crazy comes back.

<3,
-J
