I have been going back and forth with my mobile provider for weeks about this issue. Invasive ads do nothing but annoy us all! Thanks for letting me know. In the meantime, you can turn mobile off by clicking on the arrow at the top next to my blog icon and scrolling down to “return to desktop view”.
