The new pop-up ads suck!

+1 They’re extremely annoying, especially on mobile with constantly auto pop-up and auto play video.

Please find another way of making money

Agree. This is one of the things that turns me away from using websites. they become more and more bloated.

I agree this is a huge hit for user experience, especially when viewing on mobile.

I don't mind the ads and popup videos. If it helps fund the site, then good. It doesn't take much to hit the close button.

Especially the popups make the navigation slow and frustrating.

Thanks for the feedback. We're currently testing what works well and what doesn't. Based on your feedback the floating player unit has been deactivated for the (upper) main area of the page so that it only appears when you continue to scroll. Please understand that we need to test different things to see how they affect user experience in relation to potentially higher revenue. Because without income we would not be able to continue this site - as ads are our only source of income. Rest assured that user experience is still our first goal to achieve, but if you offer a completely free service, you have to be able to make compromises. We are currently in testing phase.

What about the fullscreen popups on mobile when you try to open pages ? They block the navigation entirely...

I wouldn't know about the mobile popups... after all, why use eye-straining mobile access when you have three 32" monitors? Perhaps I am too old to play games or social network on what is "just" a telephone.
