Most Annoying Ad Placement

I used to think that less traffic on HM was due to apathy, but I'm thinking it's just the frustration with the ads. Are we watching the slow death of HM in real time?
I understand that David needs to make money to keep this site up and going but these ads are probably hurting site engagement. Wish there was a better, less intrusive way for him to gain revenue.
 
An HMAX onlyfans site?

I have a high tolerance for ads BUT am experiencing a real bugger. It covers the whole page (or at least 3/4). It lays over screen like a transparency in which you can read part of what's under it and part of what's on top. It's mostly a Haagen Dass ice cream ad.

There is no "x" to click it away. It says at bottom to scroll to return to content. Not sure whether it means their content or Huskermax. It goes away on a scroll but you lose your place and it's back in under 5 seconds.

Odd thing is it only happens in Football and Baseball forum...never Hot Topics...so far. Been going on for a couple of week now. Was hoping it would ride off into the sunset with a little time.
Hasn't showed up in last couple days. Knocking on wood that it's gone. Thanks to Tech people if ya tweaked something!
 
this site is becoming damn near unusable with the ads. The popups, the background ads have become ridiculous. It’s as bad as clicking on a link on X. I’d like to post screenshots of the issues but the site always says the uploads are too large

Anyone else getting the add for the World Cup with the whistle.
I went back to my ad blocker. I do get a pop up that asks me to drop my ad blocker that I have to close, and I do have to keeping clicking on that to close it as I move around the forum, but it does still allow me to access the site with the ad blocker on.

It's not great but it's better than no ad blocker at all, and my laptop doesn't have the long delays anymore. I've been on Max maybe 10 minutes so far, most of it here reading the now typing a reply. Right now my ad blocker is at 85 and still climbing as I type, make that 87.

I appreciate that David needs to make money to run the site. I don’t want to block ads but the amount of ads has ruined the experience. The ads I get don’t even hit the target market I am in.

The sad thing is most people naturally tune out ads so at best they are just causing friction to the overall experience.

I have quite a few sites where I've turned off the ad blocker to see the site and it's not that bad, but here it is different. Posts people make from X won't load because everything is so slow. You sit and wait for pages to change, and you can't leave Max because there is stuff going on in the background slowing my laptop down enough there is a delay trying to leave the site.

When the ads get so bad you can't enjoy the site you either quit coming back, reduce the number of times you visit the site because you know what a hassle it's going to be, or you turn your ad blocker back on. I gave it a couple weeks limiting my time here because of the hassle but decided if I was going to continue here it would be with the ad blocker in place.

I find that if you stop the page from loading (once you get to the ad load pause) the X post will load. It is pretty apparent the ads get priority over content load.
 
I’m not sure why, but this site is absolutely the worst of the many I visit on my iPhone. The ads placement and frequency make it unusable. Have a look at the “beauty” below just now. Please fix this site.
