Here’s the problem. If I click anywhere on the page, it just takes me to their website. As you can see, their ad is not visible to me at all in this video. I cannot show clicking because I’m a mobile user, but as soon as I clicked to go to the page of the meme, I got sent to a random website not associated with imgflip. You can see I didn’t interact with the search bar or previous pages. This can be a genuine issue if not addressed as someone can use this format to send people to shady websites. Theoretically you could use a pop-up and have it auto download a program or virus to the user’s computer. Yes, this can actually happen.

Me and several other users have been having the same problem. This random ad covers the entire page but we can’t see it, then when we click anywhere on the imgflip page it just takes us to that website.

Ok, this is a genuine problem imgflip. You can’t have an ad hidden behind the page because it blocks almost all functionality of imgflip just to take me too their page. This is actually dangerous to users.
