Unstoppable PopUps on mobile?

Hi,

About 50% of the time I log in on my phone lately I’m getting pop ups that I can’t close (ostensibly for Spectrum, but I haven’t tapped them.) And then there’s about a 50% chance of them appearing any time I open a new thread to read.

Is this a me problem, or a DU problem? I don’t get them at any other sites, and it’s making DU almost unreadable!

Help!

Meaning no insult, I think it's definitely a DU problem. Or perhaps an ad agency only used by DU. better Jan 2021 #1

No problem on mobile or laptop; I have a star. quaint Jan 2021 #2

I have been getting the same thing lately.

Only DU and only on mobile.

Also, given that it's an ad ostensibly for Spectrum, it's also possible that it's geo-fenced, making it harder for the DU admins to spot it.
