New ad banner for non-supporters after 2nd post

Supporting member here. I don’t really mind getting a few more advertisements in my feed and, from what I can tell, even what non-paying members are now seeing isn’t nearly as obnoxious as what we’ve seen on pretty much any news organization’s website for years now. I do, however, wish that tapping on a notification would take me directly to the content like it used to; notifications now seem to take me “near” the associated content rather than directly to it; that seems to have changed with this recent shakeup of the ads.

The only issue I take with any of it is the ads that are "too big" to scroll past. To clarify, the ads in-thread on my mobile that I have to swipe up three, even four times to pass. Often my screen considers it a click. Then I have to minimize, close and reload or hit back, which leaves the ad in a window eating up memory and power.... sometimes even playing audio.

You can't bully me with ad content into giving you money, though, lol. I understand you need the revenue. I also feel the little frustrations are the "price" I pay for the free content. I'm ok. I appreciate TB even with the little annoyances ads bring.
