Subscriptions + Ads = still too many ads for the money

I think it is BS that we can have $25-30 a month in monthly subscriptions going, and still have to watch dozens of ads every day. And the ads aren’t all 30 second spots anymore, almost all of them add additional annoying clicks and pauses so they can stretch out to a minute now.

I would like to propose that if we have any current subscriptions going, whether it is for the dilithium sub, the campaigns, or anything else, that the ads go away during that subscription period. We could just tap a button to immediately bypass the ad and get the rewards, thereby making people happy that they spent the money and didn’t have to be annoyed by some of the worst ads ever cranked out.

Surely you guys can’t be making that much from the ads compared to how much more you could be making to encourage people to spend money.

    Amen.

    I just started a couple months ago and I'm already max VIP, but I am so sick of the constant ads that I think I might just let it ride and put this on the back burner for a while.

    If you are taking notes, please pass along that I understand the need for ads since many of us don't pay for one reason or another. I don't have an issue with that. However, I do have an issue with the fact that most of the ads are very long and have multiple clicks at different intervals. Additionally, many of them have the X so small that it takes me out of the game half the time and I don't get the rewards. If it can go back to simple ads with just one honest click at the end, I would watch more.

    @DavideBooks We understand how annoying those ads are. We are improving the way ads displayed and selected, but that takes quite some time, we do appreciate your feedback and your support. We will send notes to the team still regarding the ads Thank you LLAP.

    YES. This is the problem for me as well. I groan aloud whenever I get adds for, say, Ibotta, Draft Kings Casino, and TikTok, because I know that I will almost definitely watch that add for nothing and not get the reward because their impossible Xs cause me to exit the game onto Google Play instead of closing the ad at the end.

    (Player Support suggested I find the i-in-a-circle and report/hide the add, but these problematic ads do not have one).
