More fake app/hijacking redirect ads.
Can’t this be prevented? Is the click revenue really worth all the hassle?

Got one this evening. iPhone 7, 11.1.1 on Safari.
The redirect was to satisfaction-survey.today, not sure what the originating ad was. Plan B is to stop whitelisting FlyerTalk.

Just about every thread I open today results in a "Congratulations!" pop-up, mostly for Walmart. IPad 10.35.

I can no longer use the mobile version at all since every time I view a thread I get redirected to a malicious ad as shown:

In addition to causing my 2017 12.9” iPad Pro to stutter and lag when scrolling, there are two things here that are completely unacceptable. That right sidebar is way too big, making the content to ad ratio far too low. Need I mention the second?
I'll be using an ad blocker.

All these fake amazon.com and forced redirects are preventing me from getting into any of the forums.
This was my fifth attempt even to post here.
