Why all the popups?

I know this is a business. These pop up ads are annoying. All it is doing is causing me to visit less and less. I spend more time closing ads than I do
actually reading something interesting. Let’s scale back a bit.

I visit using Tapatalk (phone not pc) and I get zero pop-ups. Not sure if it's because of that or my location.

wpoll will become famous soon enough
I only get the ads problem when using a web browser on an Apple iOS device (like this iPad). Zero issues using a browser on a macOS or Windows browser... not sure about Android - I use one but not for web browsing etc.

None on Safari/macOS, but I'm using an ad blocker. Turned it off briefly and yep, massive ad cannon.

Pops up here too, on Android! Very annoying, especially as I don't like to use Tapatalk ��

I use adBlock Pro on my ipad. Does a great job. I also finally became a premier member which helped as well. I know what you mean. It was getting frustrating and was turning me away from the site. All good now though.

I'm now getting non closable pop ups, no visible X button to close anywhere and honestly it's pissing me off.

These ads also seem to be sometimes defeating my ad block.

I can handle ads but to deliver non closable pop ups is going to far. I have to refresh the whole page and hope for different ad

Using Android Chrome
