iOS app ads is too sensitive

Ever since the redesign I've triggered the ads many times just by normally scrolling up/down.

This has never happened in the old design.

I have complaining about this issues for a long time, maybe over a year or 2. But I am very suspicious that it is intentional put on by the app programmer to generate phantom clicks so they can earn $ from ads clicks. If my suspicion is correct eventually some advertisers will notice and this could be a legal issues if SD don't stop this practice. Just my suspicion opinion.

I'm an app developer myself and the lack of response here is very telling. There is no way their CTR doubled over whatever time period this happened, and the devs were like our ads just suddenly became doubly better overnight.
