For the redirect problem on mobile phones, try resetting your “advertising identifier”. That solved the redirect problem for me before that I was getting redirects everywhere and could hardly use my phone for browsing at all. There may be something similar for pc as Microsoft does have something with ad tracking or something, but I forget exactly what it is or where.

I hear ya man. Looking back I guess my posts could be considered bashing, even though they were facts that are out there for anyone to find if they bothered to look at all. You’re still going to get ads as a premium member, most sites just ditch the ads between the posts, you’ll still get the banner at the top, bottom and I doubt they’d get rid of the ads on the side.
