Overload of Advertisements

Has anyone else been getting loads and loads of ads lately?

I've just been playing and I went into a battle with some gravellers so I could levell up my Victini, then after the battle I went through a 10 second ad, immediately after that ad finished, ANOTHER 10 second ad started, then after that one I had ANOTHER one. If that's not bad enough, after that when I could finally play again, I got a pop up in the corner of my screen telling me I should play some really bad looking game. I think it was league of angels or some gloom gas.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yea, ads are basically the only source of revenue for him, since I don’t think many people buy snd coins or donate. But I believe the ad popping out have a 1 in something chance, doesn’t happen too often for me, usually the first time I exit, no more so I guess its pretty good

But the zubats are really annoying especially when they follow you everywhere and then ads ;/

I haven't played PTD 2 recently, but I believe Isaac is right.

Remember when he set a donation goal of $50,000? How long ago was that.. and he's at $15,000 now? Ads are Sam's more than likely his main source of revenue.

Hopefully you don't come across too many of them, but when you do, remember this is how Sam is paying his bills, getting food, etc.

I know that. I understand when it's just one ad every few minuets, but four ads within the space of 30 seconds is just ridiculous and annoying

ads play after a set amount of battles
the first ad appears after two fights
another ad after 10
they are 30 sec ads and you can close them after 10s
BUT there is a trick if to force a battle once the ad goes up it hides the ad
so time you ads and your position to get less ads

when ads pop up pokemon can still attack you... making the ad go away by itself... cant remember if this stops ads untill you refresh or something... but it is quicker than waiting for the ad "close" option

I think that only works for some of the ads though.

I still get the one where the blue loading bar runs down the bottom when I have the ad stuck in the background.

And yea, the one in the bottom corner seems new too.

Does anyone know if Sam gets paid for hosting the ads or for the actual number of visits the ad sites get? Because I wouldn't have a problem just clicking a few ads every so often if it helps him, and then immediately closing all the tabs that pop up.

The ads are kinda annoying, but I don't see that big of a deal. They don't pop up often enough to really annoy me, plus they're not crazy long anyway. 4 minute unskippable Youtube ad anyone?

The longest youtube ad I had to plough through was 2 and a half minutes.

But as Kroateon has suggested, you can glitch the system so the ad plays BEHIND the game. So you can still play the game while the ad is loading.

Doesn't look as good, especially if you're recording, but good enough :D

how to get out of long ads

i dont think ads are too bad
they could always be worse

sam creates everything in his free time
i rather support him where i can
than he having to stop for money reason

most of the revenue goes to server support

@Neon: Yeah, 4 ads within the span of 30 seconds is much.. but has that happened only once? Or multiple times before?
