Worms in hands ad
Anyone seeing an ad in every thread about how to get worms out of your hands? Besides being an obvious photoshop and a disgusting ad, the ad appears in literally every thread I go into. Is there any way to rotate the ads?

I keep seeing the same ads. There are at least three of them! one is a fingerprint with what appears to be maggots on it, the other is an obviously wax or plastic hand with holes bored into it and the other is a finger which has what appears to be bean sprouts attached to it. There is a condition called Morgellons disease where people think fibers are coming out of their skin or bugs are crawling beneath it. It is actually keratin that they think has a connection to tick infections. There is also an actual anxiety caused by these kinds of images called trypophobia. people get icked out by strawberries or lotus pods even bubble wrap. You ever see the ad with all the eyes? It seems to be designed to trigger these anxieties. So what is the point of them? Do you think anyone is clicking on this thinking it is a real thing? Seems to me it is just there to trigger sensitive people, but why?

Yep, those are the ads. Very gross. Is there any way to get rid of that ad?

There is always something disturbing in those ads. I know I have commented on it in the past, somewhere.

Thanks for starting this thread! I had the same thoughts - hard to complain about ads, but why do they have to be so gross? There's another worm one with what looks like 2 feet and the heels have worms or teeth or something coming out of them. That one traumatized me for a while! It was like The Kramer - I couldn't stop looking at it!
Anyway, like someone pointed out, who would actually click on one of those?

Daisy, I saw the ad of the hand with the tiny eyes here a while back. Really freaky! These ads are definitely made to trigger but they really don't bother me. They are stupid and annoying but it's best just to ignore them.

My question is, who is clicking on that link to see or read more about it? It has the exact opposite effect for me. I have a deep-rooted revulsion to it where I just want to quickly scroll by it. I've never clicked on an add on purpose in my life, but that definitely won't be the one to break my streak.
Whoever paid for that AI generated garbage for an add is not getting their money's worth.
