Mobile game ads that make you choose it the times before they let you continue playing can fuck off as well. Trying to trick me into clicking on your ad only makes me hate your product more, idiots.
The moment I see this I delete the game/app and leave a 1 star review. Reap what you sow.
They just keep getting worse. Many of them now take you to the app store instead of closing the ad. Once you've gone to the app store and then back to the game, it'll show the button to close it.
I encountered a crazier one recently: the app will just refuse to start if you block the ad servers they're using, showing "connection unstable".
Went to connection history and saw lots of requests to ad servers, unblocked them and I finally started the app without error, but yeah I did see ads too.
I deleted the app afterwards.
