You've killed MAL, congratulations. Well, at least from a mobile perspective, still a very commendable achievement, no less. My hat goes off to all those behind the scenes, working so hard for that cash. And the price was only it's death on phone, a noble sacrifice. Hopefully with some of these good-willed proceeds we will finally see some improvements of basic issues that have been plaguing this site, I mean, why else would you impose such a big sacrifice on the users?

No really though, this is fucking ridiculous.

Please.

i don't know how i should feel after reading this comment. is it a joke? you do realize that as long as this revenue is not used for the better of the website, it does not profit it nor the community, right? crave doesn't want to even move to better servers and increase the bandwidth limits, what else take suggestions or help the community out in any way whatsoever. no, it doesn't benefit nor help the website. it lets them stick more income in their pockets, simple as that.

There are adblock applications for mobile devices.

The ones I get on my mobile device often hyperlink random words to advertisements so when you see the word an advertisement pops up and often redirects you somewhere else.

in case you are an (awesome) android user, something like this does the trick as well (i don't use it, though):

It isn't, actually. It doesn't licence nor produce any anime. It only has some generic amazon llinks on the anime pages at best, which doesn't matter at all

They all don't, well it's not unusual to see people not go trough the trouble of removing ones on a forums based site.

I hope this isn't the new norm, cause as of today MAL became impossible to use on my Xbox One, & I can't dowload ad blocking software on the One. Unfortunately my computer is broke & I have no mobile option.

The problem is an inability to continue past the ads! Only the very front page seems safe. If I try to go anywhere on MAL 95% of the time my TV goes white then a little banner ad appears in the top left. However there's no option to delete/minimize/continue, & clicking the ad opens a new tab for that ad, but the original ad is still there! If I try to back out once I'm sucked right back into the ad, so I have to back out twice. I'm literally forced to back out of MAL to escape the ads! :(

Only reason I can post this is cause I found this thread while Googling MAL Ads, & it took a solid 6 or 7 minutes of repeated attempts before I didn't get an ad & could see the first page of this thread.

I rreeeeaaaallyy hope MAL is just acting up today...

i was on mal on my phone yesterday and there was a trick ad that tried to tell me my phone has a virus.

That shit is unacceptable and Crave/Xinil should be ashamed.

What is this pornhub?

Please remove these popup ads MAL. Coming on here on my iphone and being directed to the app store literally once every 2-3 minutes is frustratingly painful

How about the lovely one that makes the screen white with one ad? That one is FUCKING annoying.

I have to keep refreshing till it pops up.
