      Really? I’ve never actually noticed one.

      Maybe because of the ad blocking stuff I use on my phone.

        I will say that I’ve noticed less ads lately than I have in the past, so it may have been toned down after some backlash. I will start using openstreetmap only in the near future though, I can’t stand this type of thing
