Potential and Persistent Problems with Product Placement

Long time user on mobile here. I've been having some problems lately(re: at least for the past year) that I think are related to ads.

I've tolerated when they would force any ad spot I scrolled over to center on the screen no matter what, completely speed bumping my scrolling to a specific section. I've tolerated when scrolling past an ad spot would fill up the entire screen and I'd have to wait for the X button to appear, which wouldn't always work, or it would never appear and I had to refresh the screen and hope that glitch didn't pop up again.

But I think what's happening now might be related and, if it is, is the most disruptive yet. I think the ads are preventing any buttons besides folders from working. I can open folders fine, but I can't click hyper links to pages or open footnotes. Sometimes I have to refresh a lot in the hopes that this time they will start working. I presume they're related to ads because I noticed a persistent Pizza Hut ad appearing at the bottom around the same time. One that's rather wonky with the page layout, appearing behind text and inherent widgets when I scroll.

Anyone else have these problems or at least know what's going on?
