After my last post about getting ads on Steemit, ads that we don't want, now I'm back with another unpleasant matter. It's not my style to be negative and complain but in this case I don't think I have a better option.
It happens very often to click on a post and this is what I can see.
The upper ad banner covers the title of the post. I can't scroll up because that's the maximum I can get. In this case my only option is to refresh the page, hoping to get a better result.
Refreshing the page takes me to wallet and says the page does not exist.
It's frustrating and leaves me no other choice than to use another dapp.
I don't know where Steemit is heading, but I don't like what I'm seeing lately. This new approach is not user friendly, it's far from it. I've been using steemit for some purposes ever since I've registered, which means roughly 17 month but I've never been so unsatisfied with it!
Check out my #SevenDaysOutside Challenge!
These are the days and the categories:
#WindowMonday – Windows
#DoorTuesday – Doors
#RustArtWednesday – Rust
#GateThursday – Gates
#StatueFriday – Statues
#BrickSaturday – Bricks (bricks only, no pavement elements or cobblestones please)
#StreetlampSunday – Street Lamps
Make sure you write a description of the photo you are posting. Share as much details as you can, like where that statue is placed (in a park, at a museum), what it represents etc. Make it enjoyable.
Use the #sevendaysoutside tag along with the daily tag and tag me, @erikah!
Goes without saying that you can only use your own photos. No paintings, no drawings, no digital art please! There is no prize here, this is just for fun.

I have learnt that it doesn't pay to get irritated and just live with it or use something else. I understand Steemit needing revenue from various types of advertising. I noticed they were overlapping certain bits of information which is not very clever as it is chasing people away and they will have less and less views which I am sure affects how much they make.
I also know that it doesn't pay to get irritated and I know I have to live with it or use something else but that doesn't mean I can't express my opinion.
Brave browser....It blocks all ads
Have to try it out, thank you Remko, kisses to Fleur 😍

Thank you!
Happens to me too.
I was hoping I'm the only lucky one :)
I have a post ready right now that i can't post because i cant type a title in the top line because i can't see it! I'm going to have to fool around with several open pages until one lets me do it... ; (
And people are telling me to not mind it as I can't do anything about it. This is a serious issue that needs to be taken care of. ASAP.
I know!
I did get it posted by opening another window that wasn't covered by the ad. But why should we have to do that?
We shouldn't. I hope they are going to fix it soon.
With Brave I haven't seen such adds. I have some dislikes about Steemit as well but it's simply not worth the efort to write about. I am using eSteem mostly nowadays since I don't get around my laptop that much.
I have to try out Brave.
I'm using it on my laptop and smartphone and it's OK.
Did you ever try google Adblocker. I never see any of these because of it 😀😀

No, because @blanchy has never told me to 😀 However, that doesn't change the fact that Steemit has to fix this sh*t.
I use busy to post but usually surf around on steemit. I am like an old person that doesn't like change :)
I have not noticed this yet. Time will tell.
I use busy too but I would make a few changes to busy too 😀
I guess we all have our habits ...
Yeah, I am not a huge fan of busy either, which is why I surf with steemit. I think you have to use multiple to get a good experience.
That's why i mainly use partiko.

Partiko is an option but don't like it :)
Soon they'll have the desktop version.

Én sem örültem a reklámoknak, így ahogy a többiek is írták, böngészőt váltottam. A brave tényleg jó. Youtube videóknál sem jönnek be a reklámok, így rendesen végig tudok nézni egy előadást. Csak az a baj, hogy most mások zavaró tettei miatt kényszerül rá az ember a változtatásra. Mobil appba most partiko-t használok, ott eddig még nem jelentkeztek a reklámok.

Azt hiszem nekem sem lesz más választásom, mert ez már sok, cseberből vederbe, vagyis egyre rosszabb.
