It's based on your previous browsing quite often but I will see what I can do.

Any chance of some quality control as it's like trying to navigate a Moldovan streaming site now.

I have a similar problem as Mosschops, seeing escort services, fake auction 'valuables', heavy industrial machinery like road-building 'diggers', hydro-electric turbines etc, so I decided I had little choice but to block them. But if the ads were UK focused, genuine, and a bit more relevant to 'typical Lemon needs' then I wouldn't object to ads if I knew they were generating income for TLF.

I've just had one automatically open full screen. These type of adverts pee me off. I fully support adverts if they generate revenue for the free sites I visit, but not ones that open automatically or play graphics/sound automatically. Thankfully I rarely use my mobile for browsing, but if I did I'd either get annoyed enough not to visit the site as frequently or get an add blocker.
EDIT - TLF I might put my hand in my pocket though but not for any other site
