広告の愚痴募集！

Tried making a title that sounds like an ad (lol) Aren't there just too many ads these days where the 'close' button (✖️) is really hard to hit? If you miss it even slightly, it's like, "Oops, you didn't press the ✖️! That means you're interested in this ad! We'll take you to the link! 😊" and then boom, you're sent to another page 😵 I admit my fingers are a bit on the thicker side, but I was getting really fed up, so I went and bought a stylus for my smartphone at a 100-yen shop the other day. And wow, it's amazing! I can now press the ✖️ button accurately without missing, almost every time ✨️ Of course, some ads still auto-redirect or disguise links over the whole screen instead of a proper ✖️, so it hasn't completely solved the ad problem 😅 Still, it's incredibly helpful that it's so much more stable now ✨ If you're struggling with the ✖️ button issue, I highly recommend giving it a try!

The Milpo ads are like 80 seconds long. That's way too much.

I was subjected to a rather long AI-generated song in an ad that started with, "The reason Audrey Hepburn didn't age was shocking." I wasn't desperately curious, but I figured I could spare the ad's duration. I was a little interested, thinking, "What could the reason be?" There was no countdown timer indicating when the ad would end, and the progress bar at the bottom moved slowly. The actual content featured Audrey Hepburn only in the first phrase of the song and in the final visual (the attached screenshot is the last one). It didn't introduce any foods, ingredients, or lifestyle habits that might slow aging, which I had speculated about. Instead, it was a song about "a new polyphenol-infused coffee, jointly developed by two major companies, that makes you lose a tremendous amount of weight just by drinking it." What's more, the ad didn't even redirect me to a website upon completion; it just closed normally. So, without knowing the product name, the packaging, or anything else, I was left with the lingering question: What was the reason Audrey Hepburn didn't age? It was definitely questionable as a diet product, and the failure to direct users to a website was also a miss. What was that all about... I wanted to share this indescribable feeling, so I wrote it down. Has anyone else encountered this same ad?

Ad placement sources are the game operators, in a position to approve the terms under which ads are displayed. Ad providers are the ones who create and distribute the ads themselves. In recent years, web ads outside of Google Play have been increasing, and browser-transition types are also on the rise. Now, in the terms of service for a certain placement source, there's a line that says something like: 'Those who close ads by fraudulent means or repeatedly report ads illegally will be dealt with' (paraphrased). If we interpret this favorably, it means the placement source can see the user's interaction with the ads. I couldn't figure out what 'closing by fraudulent means' meant, but it probably refers to not pressing the close button. I suspect it means people who avoid forced ads by force-quitting the app before they can be skipped. Also, the 'rate this ad' feature on some ads, with the instruction not to spam complaints, suggests they have an obligation to respond individually. Based on the above considerations and hypotheses, I want to assert (or rather, firmly believe) that avoiding ads by not pressing the skip button is rational, and reporting them excessively is justified. This is half a joke, but recently, forced ads that hold you captive for 15 to 30 seconds or more have been noticeably decreasing. If we assume placement sources can set rejection preferences, it implies that the ads providers want to show might not be displayed.

Is anyone else experiencing ads from recently uninstalled apps popping up? Or is it just that the uninstalled apps happen to have a higher ad frequency?

As for my complaints, there are those forced ads where the skip button appears after 5 seconds, but then after you press it, another skip button appears after waiting anywhere from 5 to a maximum of 15 seconds. I hated those, so I started closing the game entirely instead of skipping them. It seems the game publisher noticed because the frequency of those ads has noticeably decreased. In their place, a new type has emerged where pressing 'skip' once brings up another 'skip' button after 2 seconds, allowing for an immediate skip. Even 0-second ads have appeared. Now that I know I can get rid of ads with a single tap at any time, I've even felt curious enough to check out what the ads are about. I really think the ad providers themselves are part of the problem. There's no point to a 120-second ad unless it's talking about something else for that duration. But in reality, they're just collections of things like three 40-second ads, four 30-second ads, or twenty-four 5-second ads. I wish these types of ads would learn that no matter how appealing the content, they only generate a rejection response. However, it seems publishers are learning, as there's a trend towards trying to get away with 30-second ads for rewarded videos. I hope things continue to move in a positive direction.

Playio's ad creation is really terrible! It's a shame that none of the ads are interesting! Users won't increase with that, right? Moreover, even if users install after seeing the ads, I feel sorry for those who feel deceived! In the past, there were definitely no penalties, and you could earn money in games! But now, earning money through games feels a bit too strict! I feel like complaints will start happening frequently soon! Especially with Thai퀘 (Thai Quest)? If you install thinking you can earn, but get penalized, you can't earn! I'm sure complaints are increasing!

It's probably a jigsaw puzzle ad... but even if they say 'Get your reward immediately upon completion!', how am I supposed to do that when there are no pieces or anything? lol It didn't show an arrow even when I left it alone, maybe it's some kind of freeze? 🙄 I had no choice but to close the app itself. These frozen ads seem to be increasing lately ┐(´д｀)┌

I was surprised to see this in a newer ad, thinking 'It still has this!? 🤣' (Image of ragged people in a blizzard) There are so many apps that advertise 'You can play mini-games like this in the app!' but then they don't actually have them. Isn't that basically fraud? 🙄

This bugged ad where a video should play, but the 'X' button never appears and even the phone's back button doesn't work, leaving me stuck ( ;´꒳`;)
