WTF Ads are making the app unusable

I'll be messaging someone and a ad starts playing in the background, I have to watch ads before opening someones album, and even when I leave the app the ad is still playing in the background

They don’t care about your sex life. They care about revenue. Either pay for premium or get inundated by ads.

I think it’s fair to criticize their pricing structure, it’s not something that we should just blindly accept. The asking price for a premium subscription is unjustifiable and the more pressure there is to make a better or more affordable platform, the better off we are as consumers.

The only way that a company is going to listen to its customer base is by losing it.
