User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Making Ads Better: The Basics/@comment-2039595-20170118154103

The ads on Fandom sites have been consistently awful for quite awhile. Annoying, overly large banner ads, obtrusive ads, videos playing, sounds, and more. There are far better ways to provide an ad experience for communities, and at the moment, Fandom has some of the worst ads I've seen outside of shady sites. You need to work on finding an immediate balance between quality of the page and ad placement. I made an account to try and get rid of ads, and actively do use an ad blocker because of how awful the ads that are present tend to be. I do not want an ad that is not on a video to play audio or video. Ever.
