Is it just me or are the ads getting worse?

So, inasmuch as I am banned from OT and P&C, what benefit do I get for paying that you guys don't?
Maybe I am paying to be punished for being someone who resists being bullied and getting nothing for my $.

I am starting to get click bait ads, pop ups telling me my computer is infected. Redirect ads that close rennlist and tell me I won money, or the site hanging because it cant load ads from an ad server. This is only on rennlist.
Starting to feel like the fake news sites, with way too many ads.

I have a hard time paying for an experience which is already a bit questionable. Maybe that will change.

I was getting really annoying ads on Rennlist that would totally disrupt Microsoft Edge browser and it would automatically scroll to the bottom of the page and then pop open a new window for Adidas running shoes on the SportChek website.
It was somewhat intermittent and at first I assumed was a bug or perhaps even malware on my side, but this would only happen on Rennlist.
Switching to Firefox with adblocker and NoScript solved everything and then some.
...also, I never got any Rennlist decals with membership?!!

So what's this all about? I just started getting ads for the first time ever this morning and it's pissing me off. Is that the way it's supposed to be for members? Why had I never gotten them before?
