You can join the publisher's club to avoid ads.
Unless you randomly lose your Pub Club status like I did. I only re-subbed about 20 days ago, but yesterday I suddenly was seeing ads again. I'm marked as a standard member in my profile.
So, the ads are extra annoying to me, because I paid to have them removed... When I was a free member, the ads didn't bother me. I was fine with watching some in exchange for free stuff. The full page wrapper ads sometimes bothered me a little because I accidentally clicked on them all the time.
Used the support contact form yesterday, no response yet.
