Sorry if this has been discussed. Ads over text?

I mostly read here on my iPhone.
For the last few weeks, I’ve noticed I had ads appearing on top of the first two threads in latest news on the front page.
Anyone else?

Flipping it sideways for me gets rid of the ad overlap and lets me click through.

Latest and Greatest tabs work fine though, so I usually go there pretty quickly.

I'll buy a star again soon, but fyi.

Didn't happen till the last time this site's host upgraded. And all they say is buy a star! Crazy, but things change I guess. Funny, how the changes are all for profit!
