An auto-playing video that automatically goes full screen, loudly advertising hemorrhoid medication.

And then an ad that covers the screen so that controls are not visible, and follows on scrolling.

Also, it should mention that my browser is too old.

    yeah and the "x" to close the ad is so small that you necessarily misclick (especially on mobile) and it opens another tab that redirects to the play store. now play store knows you're into this shit and keeps recommending it to you.
