Anyone else getting inundated with Fresh Thyme Market ads on their mobile devices? Every page change is a new ad these days. Doesn’t happen on my desktop. Just curious

The ads went away for a few days but now they’re back and better than ever. Certain advertisers go crazy with their ad frequency. Wish these guys would stop

The Ad serving company is going to feed you ads based on your search history or what their algorithm thinks is your demographic and interests.
I've never seen that ad, or a Coke one, but get one for diabetes care on virtually every page on my mobile (I'm not even diabetic, but used to work in the field so my profile and search must suggest it).
Someone will be along shortly to let you know if you dont want them then pay for a membership.

Unfortunately this isn’t business as usual. I’m getting one of these ads every page change. Gets old quickly

Actually that is a regular thing on mobile.
You have 3 choices:
Accept the ads
Pay for a membership
Research technologies that will block them with the understanding using that may, or more accurately will block you from viewing certain pages on the web which prohibit their use.

What is really annoying is it drops down on you while you are looking and sometimes it covers half your screen.

Funnily, this is really the thing that gets me more than any of the ads themselves. I get it with a slight delay so if I click to a fresh page start to say do a "detailed add" for a card I will get partway through and go to click on a new text box and the ad will appear mid-click and I will end up clicking on it.
Hardly the end of the world though and if that was the biggest problem I faced in my day it was a pretty good one!
