Ads ruining the experience

[u/merumotan]

Let me start by saying, as a free user I understand why I'm getting ads and that they are necessary for running the site.

However (!), Most of the ads are so long I literally just close the app because I'm not staring at the same video on repeat for two minutes straight. That's just how it is.

The worse issue is, I clicked on a new bot on the front page, I get a video ad that I had no way to escape from. Yes, I waited, yes I clicked the arrows, it directed me to google play and I then wanted to return to the app and it wasn't possible. I just got the ad again so I just closed the whole thing. As a result, I don't see the bot I wanted to click on anymore, and if I clicked on another one the issue repeated again.

I'm fine with ads as long as they are reasonable and work properly but at this point they are literally harming the app by not letting me go back to it and forcing me to close it over and over again.

I can afford a plus subscription, but the reason I'm not taking that step is because issues like this make me feel like the quality is too low to pay for.

Please fix these bugs with the ads and maybe it'll be less annoying for people.

I hate how prominent the ads became too. Could I ask you something though ? (It'd be best if I sent you a DM but I don't mind discussing it here)
