I never accidentally click a deal when I'm scrolling through the ios app but I often accidentally click an advertisement because of placement and sensitivity. What a shady way to make $$.

Sounds like you need to differentiate into a neuron.

LMAO

There are ways to avoid ads in this day and age.

Or when an app purposefully delays posting an ad. Textra does that. You get an SMS, pen the app and the new message will be right at the top. In the split second it takes you to touch the top message, it conveniently loads an add in that same spot, which you wind up inadvertently hitting. You can't tell me that's just coincidence.
