I've looked into these full screen ads, which Google calls Vignette ads. As I said, I have Google Ads set to automatically experiment with ads, to produce the best revenue. In this case, it tested the vignette ads on 50% of users over Sept 13 and 14, for at 149% revenue uplift. Because of this Google Ads applies the change.

I've now rejected the automatic change, so these type of ads should not be appearing anymore.

It was getting a little invasive on the mobile. Felt like every 6 or so clicks and almost always on the first click back when refreshing the page after a short break.

In lightweight mode? I haven't changed anything, but Google do whatever they want.

[Sydney Hacker]

Lots of ads of late, I assumed you were drumming up $$$

Yeah click on a thread and first you have to close full page ad and then click thread again. On lightweight mode only for last week or so

Is there a $number to **** this stuff off? It's annoying.

[AndyP]

I'll try to look into it over the coming days.

Google Ads has a setting that allows it to conducts experiments on different ad formats to see if it increases earnings or not. It would display this ad to 50% of the users. In this case, the full screen ad saw a 48% increase in earnings during the experiment and as a result was automatically continued. I've now reversed this to keep the original ad configuration.
