Ads ruin this site

Way too many ads. I understand a few, but they have overtaken the site. The site runs so slow that it's not worth the trouble. There are many more pleasant websites to visit than this.

Ads, ads, ads……..so many ads. Funny thing is, I’ve seen the massive green bald head of Specsavers so much, it’s put me off ever using them! BP what have you done-not only have you forced away your loyal readers, but you’ve also created the exact opposite of what your advertisers where trying to achieve. What a result, less hits all round-pat yourselves on the back-idiots!

Used to love this site however now I can’t even get through one article without it crashing and reloading. I’ve given up

Bored panda use to be my breakfast morning read. I have been using the app for like, years now. But recently it keeps saying I have an ad blocker on. Which I don't because I am using the APP not a browser. And try as I might, there is simply no way for me to turn off an ad blocker THAT I SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE ON. it feels like a disgusting way to try and force people to pay for their premium app. Trying to capture the 'omg fine I will pay if you let me just get on with my day' purchases. I think i will just have to switch back to Reddit, where you pull your bloody articles from in the first place. If I could down vote you to oblivion, I would.

What was once a great place to read interesting content has become a congested mess of advertisements, advertisements, and advertisements. Your screen literally gets filled with utter pop-up garbage, which renders the website useless due to endless screen refreshes.

I used to thoroughly enjoy the site, but a massive increase in ads has made it unnavigable. Repeatedly crashing, screen jumping, resetting to the top of the page. You legitimately can’t view content anymore, there’s no point in visiting the site at all.

I recently applied for a content role with Bored Panda and was informed I had been selected for the next round. As part of the process, I was asked to complete a creative video task, which I submitted on time after putting in substantial effort. Over several weeks, I followed up and received repeated assurances that a response would be coming. Eventually, I was told I wasn’t shortlisted, with no feedback or transparency on how my work was used or evaluated. While I understand not being selected, what concerns me most is the lack of professional communication, the delayed response, and the expectation of unpaid creative work without clarity on how it would be used. This can feel exploitative to candidates, especially creatives investing time and originality in hopes of a fair evaluation. I’m sharing this to help future applicants make an informed decision. If Bored Panda chooses to assign test tasks, I urge them to treat candidates with greater respect, transparency, and timely closure.
