    These pop-up bags are so damn annoying. Whatever you try to close them they expand. The little X to close them is so damn tiny.
    NOT GOING TO RENEW!!!

    Post on the help page.
    Occasionally malicious ads creep in, they are all automated. It’s not GCs fault. But you have to notify them on the help page so they can help.
    And fyi, it’s often the user history that attracts them more than GC. I have no current issues w no ad blocker. Just saying.

    I use an ad blocker on my phone and haven’t seen an ad in years. Since I’m a paid GC subscriber, I shed no tears that I’m depriving them of revenue. I never go to GC on my computer, so can’t offer suggestions on that platform.

    I communicated w GC about the ads over a month ago, and it did no good. OK, I just now went to my iPhone settings, clicked extensions, which sent me to the Apple Store to download an ad block extension to Safari on my phone. I downloaded 1Blocker. I set it to only block ads. It did the trick. Like magic there are no more ads popping up on gator country.
