Aliexpress Ads are driving me nuts on the slickdeals app

I'm not sure if it's something AliExpress (targeted for me) is doing or if it's the Slickdeals app but on the iOS app if I touch the ad while dragging/scrolling it registers a click on the ad which is a new behavior and very frustrating. Before this change I would have to touch and release without dragging to simulate a click on an Ad.

Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.

Yes! It just be a recent update because this didn't happen before. Dragging the screen up in the vicinity of the ad should not register as a "click".

Seems to also open Walmart and Temu ads as well, but AliExpress ones pop up most often.

Edit: I'm on the Android version, so it's an issue on both.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have passed this info along to our engineering team so they can investigate the issue.
