As of yesterday (10/09/15), text ads suddenly started appearing in the answers to questions.?

I think this is a new Yahoo ploy to get more ads on the site. I wonder if people actually click those ads.

So much for it not happening to those above level 4 as they said.

I don't see them on IE but do on FF and Chrome. It is happening to others and seems to be browser related. Even those with adblock see them.

About that happening.https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20150...

WooHoo; I think I found the answer! Click the AdBlock Pro icon in the location bar; a dropdown menu will have the option "Easy create filter". Click that, then click the offending ad. Answer 'Yes' to the next prompt. You might have to do this on a couple ads for them all to disappear.

Maybe for you, but for me those ads have been appearing for a week or two. What's the point? Does anyone actually click on them, other than occasionally by accident?

those are called spambots.....just report them cause that's really all you can do about them

look its the child abuser
