Amazon ads ruining website

Question

The Amazon ads appearing at the IMDb website are quite annoying and restrict page content I am trying to view. this creates a horrible user experience. the once proud IMDB website has been reduced to a cheap, sleazy, scammy ad board for crappy products I have zero intention of ever buying. I don't come to the IMDb website to have unwanted ads pop up in front of content. this is totally unacceptable and I will not be visiting the site any longer because of the unwelcome and obtrusive pop up ads. Amazon seems to be in desperation mode now, resorting to these tactics, using every available resource to save a sinking ship. how unfortunate that they deem it necessary to take down IMDb with them .and their Chinese junk. pathetic.
