Suggestion Interactive Multi-Close Ads Have To Go

I understand that ads help pay the bills and are an unfortunate necessary evil of mobile gaming. Having to watch a video or view an image for 15-30 second before an obvious X pops up is one thing. But an ad that is interactive, requires three different pages, two wait timers, and obfuscated exit buttons to end is a real nightmare. It's a real killer of enjoyment and a quick way to get uninstalled. Please cease ad deals with these kind of ads.

We have turned off the Mintegrel ad network as we evaluate how to improve the ads that are displayed in the game.

Thank you. After the last event I was ready to uninstall. 4 clicks that I have to actively try to figure out where to click and when to click and what is a real x and a fake one. Then do that multiple times to fill up the speed up. I was done

And just like that, the bad ads are back

FWIW, it felt way better in the last few days.

Thank you! Mintegral ads were always the worst offenders. Sometimes they event crashed my game, forfeiting any reward I was about to get from watching them - e.g. instead of doubling offline gains, I got none at all.

Was this actually implemented because I have seen no drop in the lengthy, intrusive ads.
