I went to MAL on my phone's internet browser in order to look up characters from a show. I found an unpleasant surprise, that every 30 seconds or something -- or, when I click on a character or a show -- I am taken to a page about buying a car or something (some of which webpages even ask if I will let the webpage vibrate my phone...). It is unfortunate that these ads are present here at MAL especially considering that I am a MAL supporter (with a paid subscription) and also part of the reason I experienced these ads is because MAL automatically signs me out after a while despite the fact that I always click "Always keep me signed in"

That's odd, it says:

MAL automatically signs me out after a while on my phone's browser (despite the fact that I click "always keep me signed in" ). And I went to MAL today just to look up a character - and then I got all those ads because I was automatically signed out. It is tedious to re-sign in just to look up a character - and I shouldn't be automatically signed out anyway, because I click "always keep me signed in" when I sign in.

I don't remember the last time I had to re-login on my phone, I've never been signed out on it. Sounds like the problem is with your phone's browser. Check your browser's settings to see if clears cookies when you close it or if you're using Private Browsing when doing it.

Just some guy who likes anime
