DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Just bump this again...I'm getting some pretty annoying ads on mobile when viewing the site. And have seen a few others also mention it too. Rob @oneboro is there anything that can be done from your end? I've attached a screenshot for reference. What's even worse is I don't even drink tequila! Link to post Share on other sites
ScarBoro 836 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 On an iPhone, there’s an annoying ad at the bottom of the screen that covers the box that comes up to indicate there are further replies. This means you can’t click the “show first 2 replies” line. Just means you have to refresh, so not desperately bad, but it makes the notification box a bit pointless. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

This is the same for me, its almost impossible to close them, and when new comments appear, they are also behind the ads and so the only way to see them is to refresh the page. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,400 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 I'm on android Chrome and the adverts are easy to deal with and nowhere near as big as that. It's strange that it's so much more intrusive on iPhones. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think? I’ve always had an iPhone since iPhone1, I never really thought about an alternative…I guess it’s what I’m used to. What would be your preference and what are the benefits? For instance do you get pop up adverts on your phone? Link to post Share on other sites

For instance do you get pop up adverts on your phone? Android tends to be the more innovative platform, despite popular assumptions to the contrary. Android users were the first to be able to use copy-and-paste, third-party keyboards, night modes, screen auto-rotation, live photos and split-screen apps. Today, you need an Android handset to run two SIMs or use integrated microSD cards for expandable storage, or to enjoy a 4K screen. Also, USB-C is a far more widely adopted connection interface than Apple's Lightning cable, which we'll apparently be stuck with in the UK because the EU-wide ban on incompatible connectivity won't apply to us. More specifically to this thread, you generally get less intrusive ads on Android due to the way the two OS are configured. [takes off nerd hat with a flourish] 1 Link to post Share on other sites

[takes off nerd hat with a flourish] That’s very interesting, I guess Apple have caught up on quite a few of those issues now appear from the USBc issue which to be honest I don’t really understand what the fuss is about. I’ve got loads of chargers lying around my house and I don’t feel the need to be compatible with any one else’s phone. Link to post Share on other sites

Everything @RiseAgainst said basically, the average smartphone user is now starting to realise that iPhones are essentially status symbols, Android phones are generally more powerful and user friendly (Samsung have had the upper hand on Apple for a good while now, and other brands are releasing entry level handsets which rival iPhones at a fraction of the cost.)

Given your track record on being ITK about stuff you've probably just massively increased sales of iPhones. Link to post Share on other sites
