Do invasive internet ads bother you?

On one of my writing sites (I will not name it) I keep getting invasive ads. They devour my screen, and I cannot find an "x" to make them go away. On the one hand, they tick me off, as I cannot make them go away so I can comment on a comment or write a new post. On the other hand, they let me know that the sites I write on are pulling in good money, assuring that those sites will continue to exist, and that they will pay well.
In some cases, the ads are for merchants I regularly patronize, like LL Bean and Guitar Center. In other cases, they are for sites I would never partronize, like (brand name here).
Do you ever get invasive ads on the internet? How do you deal with them?

I just ignore them. Right now I have a "GetMyFluShotorg" and "Dadication". I close out the ones that are in the way. Have a good week. Wish I knew where you were writing!!!

Yes, they're everywhere on my social medias even in mobile apps. Sometimes it feels creepy because they are personalized.

Yes, I see them on some of the sites. Sometimes, it's difficult to find the "x" to exit. That annoys me.
