We completely understand your frustration. It’s unfortunate that some online advertisements use such tactics to attract clicks. This practice, known as “ad cloaking,” is generally considered deceptive and can lead to a poor user experience. It’s important to report such incidents to the website or platform hosting the ads, as they may have policies against this type of behavior. Additionally, using an ad blocker can help mitigate these issues while browsing the web. Your feedback is valuable, and it’s essential for companies to be aware of these negative experiences in order to improve the overall user experience.
