Here's where this crap originated...

Looks like we can opt out of this but right now I don't believe it. probably another scam...

The pop up ads keep showing up even after they’re closed. Same page. No navigation.

Great, try and opt out of this crap...

Here's what their opt out page states...

By choosing to “opt-out”, you are opting out of the behavioral targeting. This means you will still receive GumGum ads, they will just not be specifically targeted to you/your interests.
At this time, there is no way to opt out of receiving GumGum’s advertising, however you always have the option to close each ad individually.

Well, GumGum should change their name to DumDum!

My belly & azz is big enough & ever growing, maybe,
that's why I'm seeing KitKat & Hershey Chocolate ads :BangHead:
(you'd THINK they'd show me weight loss crap....)

I don't fly. PERIOD.
Maybe Southwest airlines has a new train or boat travel plan,
they keep showing me with that plane ad.... :BangHead:

Now, the phone is ringing before 8am....
WHAT, WHAT DO YOU WANT BEFORE 8AM IN THE MORNING!!!!! >:(

Lifes' annoyances lead to avoidance.
I'll be avoiding the phone, candy, airlines, & tnet… :BangHead:

HATE THEM POP-UPS..... can ya tell..... :laughing7:

Annoying as hell. I place my phone sideways to use the site while at work and the ads take up about a quarter of the page at the bottom. Closing them does little good because they are back once I click onto another page or, as a neener neener gesture by gum gum, a smaller ad appears on the original page I closed it out on!
Fix this.
