Just checked it out on my iPad in Chrome, and I'm getting the stretched ads, however, this is fine by me and seems to work okay so no issues with that. However, everything I've gotten so far has been "click here to continue as free user" or "install now!" or "this requires java!" while patently being stolen from the desktop chrome interface... kinda shady, but no redirects. I will edit this post when I disable my ad blocker on Safari and try it out.

ETA: yeah, I'm getting these same ads on both desktop, Safari, and Chrome, which I guess IS intended behavior so that's good! But the content of all the ads seems to be "click here to upgrade your account!" and similar shady things like I've mentioned. Which idk if revenue is gained from merely hosting the ads or from clicks, but while a good intermediate solution, this current ad network might not be the best one in the long term. Don't know if the ads will change the longer they're on the site but just thought I'd give my feedback.

I thought I had caught some sort of weird adware (since I installed some non-app store app last week).... Turns out it was an actual problem

I don't seem to have the redirect problem anymore (god finally! It made it impossible to open any pages at all. I kept getting redirected to one of those 'congratulation you won an iPhone' page...)

Now I see a very intrusive 'download play now' banner that scrolls with my phone and ends up in the middle of my screen most of the time :/ (screenshot coming in a moment)

And look at that I can barely edit this post cause the banner is in the way!

Also accidentaly clicked on it while trying to press the edit button and it redirected me to a page with an 'iOS crash' fake popup...

I highly suggest this is changed asap cause those apps are invasive and very possibly harmful for mobile users...

I am having problems with the redirecting ads also. I'm using Chrome to browse on my desktop and in the last minute I was redirected 4 different times to a musixhub site and another one. Simply trying to post this message I've had popup redirect attempts. Will be shutting down computer and virus scanning, etc. Please fix this, it makes this site unusable!

I keep getting this -- it says I have an out of date media player (isn't) and ad-jacks me. I have already been ad-jacked twice just trying to post this. I'm thinking anything this aggressive is most likely loaded with malware & is a security threat to us. Please stop these thugs before they get into someone's system.

I live in MN, and whatever you've heard... It's much worse.

These adds are clickjacking me and are even more annoying. They also are blatant malware ads, because advertising "hey download this now" with no product shown is never for a legit program.

Still getting this issue, I've used 2 different scanners to remove threats and cleared my cache. I log back on and immediately get redirected back to the musixhub site junk again. Site is unusable for me now, will be avoiding it until it can be fixed or addressed. :(

Getting the same problem as everyone else ): I was trying to click a link in my friend feed to get to this topic, and I ended up getting an ad opening in a separate tab. I'm glad the redirecting ads are gone, (and actually I wasn't getting them anymore for a few days) but these don't seem better unfortunately

Had an infinite alert that spammed my browser so I couldn't close it or open up another tab or even use my browser until I disabled javascript. This is a good way to piss off users and I hope this gets fixed immediately.

Yeah I can second what said. This is one of the urls of the pop-up I just got on my desktop, this and other things have tried to download items onto my computer: http://macpopularinstall.com/mac/ibr-7/install-software-395979120?sub_id=014586196027986445357&fln=games%2C+pets%2C+flash+games%2C+virtual+pet%2C+virtual+games%2C+kids+virtual+pet&lr=1

I was worried when I saw the ads from the new ad network and over the past couple hours they've definitely gotten worse. Posting here instead instead of a desktop thread since it's related to the change.

The huge bottom banner I and others have seen on mobile shows up as this banner on desktop. Those icons do link to twitter, facebook, etc, but I don't trust them.

My mother () is getting not only the "Start/Download" one, but another that claims that she won something, that has seizure-inducing flashing color outline on it.

Both are obvious scam "ads".

((I'm posting on her behalf, because she doesn't use forums and doesn't really know how to))

Do you have the courage to ride with the devil?

Same problem, getting redirects randomly and occasionally the big banner on the bottom with the "download" button, etc. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

I'm getting lots of these. Thought I had a virus until I realized Subeta was the only site causing trouble. :(

Well no redirects lasted all of a few hours for me lmao. ive now been redirected to cinaplay a handful of times while trying to play bluff. so not only is this more obnoxious, as its a whole huge ad bar that scrolls with you or is stuck in the middle of the page its got redirect problems too. at least these are opening in new tabs for me instead of the tab i was using.

edit: actually these are more like clickjacking at this point rather than just redirecting. the fuck.

I am having this exact problem as well, and even worse Ghostery isn't doing shit about it (which is a first because I've actually found it better than Adblock).

Is this outright malware on the site? Because it sure seems like it. It clickjacks, it's obtrusive, and it's clearly shady. Honestly, I'm going to avoid Subeta for a while until it goes away. If my machine gets fried, there goes my income.

This is really annoying. I had one redirect me while I was trying to type this post the first time. These obviously dont look like legit ads. The one I see now just has a button that says 'start now'.

Yes. I can make them go away if I turn off Javascript, but then I can't do much on the site. I'll just keep my activity here minimal until this gets resolved.

btw, I have cleared cache and even manually cleared unwanted/unknown cookies, etc…

Are you sure, as of right now? I just removed all of the ads from the site, so you shouldn't be getting anything..

- As of a couple minutes ago when I was in the kitchen, Mom had one asking what class she wanted to play, like those ads on free google play games.

I believe everyone has at least one skill that they excel in over all others. It's something that defines who they are.
