    you are the first other person to report it, but I've been seeing it the entire time. interesting you are subscribed so shouldn't be seeing any other ads. our parent company and ad networks checked, nothing there. are you on a Mac?

    I get that exact pop-up every time using Chrome, running on Windows 10. I also have an ad blocker, but to no avail. It is REALLY annoying... and the damn thing just popped-up as I am typing this response.

    When I close my browser I log out so when I restart the browser I am not logged in and I get the video player. When I log in it goes away.

    Yes, for me only appears on FChat. Video content seems to be smart enough to match feed for car guys. I can't get it to show up on Edge or Opera browsers.

    Interesting note: while I was trying to get it on the other browsers it popped up here. After a couple of minutes Chrome killed it because it was using too many resources for the Chrome browser. :)

    well we were lied to. :eek: thanks to Kirill's tech work we were able to find it and it was the parent company fault who oversees the advertiser who let that video placement in. thanks everyone for your patience.
