OMG RedNote just gave me a pop-up ad.

This is the one place I never thought I’d see that happen, since they mostly seem to be seamlessly integrated in the notes itself, to the point I’ll actually click them because I like the product.

But this just rubs me the wrong way, with enough intensity to make me post.
I don’t want to stop scrolling, I love the app. But when an app forces me to watch an add, even if for a second, it upsets me.

Editing to clarify: I got the pop up as I launched, and thought I had opened the wrong app. It was the kind that covers the entire app screen.
