Not all users can tolerate horror ads

Tonight while trying to use the app I was "attacked" by 100 ads at every half inch for "Bring Her Back." This is an upsetting & awful ad attack and I have to stop using the site until this goes away. The amount of times I was forced to deal with this horror ad was 99 times too much, because I can't even look at the ad!! The visual is horror-like, a lady with no eyeballs. I'm going to have nightmares. Just like movie theaters that show horror trailers to all audiences thinking it's ok, there are some people who can't take horror. And you're right, I should have quit or deleted the app because you would not stop forcing this ad on me, literally it appeared 3-4 times per screen, every screen, it was never-ending. But instead I closed my eyes while using the app when it appeared everY 2 seconds, or had to cover the ad with my thumb to not keep seeing it. NOT EVERYONE CAN TAKE ADS LIKE THAT. Think before you throw a zillion loads of such an ad into every user's face! It's bad!
