Were you on a smartphone when you saw the ad that you mentioned? Mobile ads that redirect you to another page, and are hard to escape, have been on the rise lately. It's a problem affecting the entire web publishing world and it's not just on FANDOM.

For example, here is an article from an American newspaper talking to their readers about this very issue: http://www.tampabay.com/news/Note-to-readers-About-those-annoying-popups-on-your-phones_165731770

We're doing many of the same things to try and combat this -- working with our advertising partners and implementing our own strategies as well.

Please do report bad ads referring to the link in the reply above mine. Diving into the ad code isn't very practical on your phone, but screen shots are good to see, and other information can be helpful too.
