Can't use TYM via browser on mobile?

It's all so very confusing.
So.. every time I try to come here via my browser on my phone (I prefer it to the app, but maybe I just need to embrace the app) I am redirected, within 15ish seconds to a spam website.. usually something about gift cards.

I tried just now for every bit of 15m and probably tried 30+ times. Couldn't even get on the site long enough to make a status update or anything.

I doubt this is my phone's fault, as it's essentially clean. I use almost nothing that's not stock, and what little I do use that isn't I've been using for months/years with no issue, and it's literally like Google keyboard and FAT for sfv. I even went through and deleted the couple apps I have downloaded just to be sure.

It COULD be my phone's fault, maybe something updated, etc and is causing this to happen, but no other websites are doing it. Just tym.

Any suggestions?

No idea what to tell you. I primarily use my mobile browser for TYM and have no redirect issues.
 
I use my phones safari browser for tym, don’t have any redirects whatsoever, I do have ads but no redirect ads or nothing like that.

I had that happen for awhile, and I remember seeing other reports before that. I was even contacted saying it was known issue.

Hasn't happened for some time though, so I figured it was sorted out. Likely the ads, which is scary. Stuff like that can be really dangerous.

If only the ads were extinct. We wouldn't bother with them anymore. We would have had our minds at peace. -_-

Apparently, it's something you can't really control if you run ads. It's on the platform to screen ads before they run them to catch redirects. But, things get through, apparently Google Adsense isn't even perfect

There it is...
I had this issue since I moved from.apple to android. I downloaded ad blocker app and it's fixed it.

It used to happen every time I came here. Now it doesn’t anymore. But it was happening with other sites as well, not just TYM. This was not too long ago, a few months at least.

Thanks folks.

It's stopped now, but I'll take additional precautions.

One other question that's not really related. Anyone else have autocorrect/autosuggest on mobile not work right here?

Thats gotta be my phone's fault and/or the app, two entirely different phones have had the same issue (I use Google's Keyboard app). What happens is when I'm typing I'll usually bang out a few letters and if it auto suggests the word I'll hit it, or I'll miss a letter or two and just let it auto correct, or tap it's suggested word again.. but on the forum here it doesn't always work. It'll either not respond at all, or what it posts is garbled,a combination of the errors and a gibberish attempt at the fix.

^ there. That was 'billions" where I hit autocomauto (there again) to finish the word after Bill.

Not blaming the site for this at all, just xurocur (curious) if anyone else has this happen here.or anywhere else? I dont post on any other forums from my phone so I dunno if the issue is forum related in some way.. texts, discord chat, etc on my phone all work fine.

I dont know about anyone else but when I use it it's slow af, glitches at times. Like it'll take me literally 10 mins to sometimes get a post no joke. No matter where my wifi or 4G is. So I tend to wait til I get home but I do use it on the go for news updates for sure.
