I'm so over facebook

151949 · ‎03-09-2010

It seems every time I click on something I would like to read there are so many ads that it is , LITERALLY, impossible to read the article. Or it is so slow, because it is loading ads, that you can't scroll down the article or load the video. Not to even mention the disgusting subject matter of the ads - I could not even repeat them, or picturews of nude men's genetalia or women's practically nude, and very distorted bodies. I would rather pay for my facebook than put up with the disgusting ads there.And i'm no prude - after 42 years as an ICU nurse I have seen tons of naked people, however, It is not appropriate to have to see them when I click on an ad for a video on something like decorating or preventing heart attacks.Am I the only one sick & tired of porno on facebook.

That's a shame. Now that I'm not working, I'm on Facebook (and here!) a lot. I've never seen ads like that. I do agree with you though that if I click on a link for an article or video sometimes they're really slow loading or impossible to load.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Have you tried ad bloc or ad bloc plus?

I no longer have pop ups on yahoo or facebook.

It's FREE and easy to install.

I was just going to suggest Ad-Block too.. works like a charm!

Click on the arrow down that's on the left. You will see "hide advert". Click on the "X". That does help.

I'm on Facebook a lot and never had any of those problems.

The only facebook I'm in is the one at the police station with my mugshot.

Wow you guys , thanks so much. That ad block is fabulous - exactly what I needed. I did not want to stop going on FB because most of my family is all over the world and we keep in touch on FB but those ads were getting to me.There was one on there today "How my Dad ended his ED" with a picture of a young woman in very scanty clothing lying on a bed. WHAT!
