What's with these pop-up ads?


Starting today (1/8/25) I'm getting these pop-ups every fifteen or twenty seconds on MovieChat. They're not on the side, they're in the middle covering the forum text, and I have to click the "X" to get rid of them before I can continue reading or typing. It's very annoying and I hope it's not something new the management of MC has agreed to allow.

I've noticed them too. Some are the vertical ones in the middle that you mentioned. A few have taken over my whole screen. I really, really hope it's some temporary nuisance.

I use DuckDuckGo, it’s free. Say goodbye to pop-ups.

I'll try it. Thanks!

I should buy shares, lol.

THERE IS NO X TO CLICK! GET RID OF THESE POPUP ADS COVERING THE ENTIRE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE!

TIME TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER SITE AGAIN!

MC doesn't mind ruining their own website for a few dollars.

I have a pop-up stopper on my phone.

I noticed the ads on my PC are less intrusive. It's likely the moderators heard all of the complaints and fixed the issue.

There is nothing wrong with MovieChat making a profit. Pop-up ads are annoying but they're not a deal breaker. Stop being fussbudgets.

Yes. Yours is the best solution for those who are bothered by this. I see some threatening to leave over it. Why?

reply

Yeah, it's not exactly the end of the world is it? It's always a shame to lose people, but what can you do?

reply

Honestly, I've only noticed it a few times, not enough to worry about. I think this thread is full of big babies. Haha.

Wah! 👶🍼

The ads were too intrusive. They were taking up half the screen so it was impossible to read the posts or respond. They fixed the problem so the ads are only on the bottom, again.
