Intrusive adverts!

What has happened to internet access? Everything I do on my iPad these days demands that I sign in using my Facebook membership!
This involves putting in my password!
Arghhh!
It’s not quite everything but it’s almost everything and the list gets longer daily.
Why has Facebook suddenly become so important and demanding?
I suspect it’s a way of making sure that we see all the adverts that pop up all too often.
I don’t look at these intruders....I just press the button to change the page . But that often loses me the game I was playing.
I have been playing Scrabble with friends for years, very happily. Now a garish page suddenly jumps into it and delays everything.
Backgammon is also a game which I’ve been playing on line for several years. Suddenly this week I am diverted from the next game waiting in the list by a demand for my attention to an advert wanting me to start playing a poker game!
I always click away from the page but it just keeps coming back!
Those people who decide on the rules of advertising during or after a game should be aware that people like me will never be forced into playing games that we don’t like no matter how often we are nagged!
It has the opposite effect rather than the required one.
I am trying not to become a bloody minded old woman...but I’m afraid that I’m not succeeding...I really resent finding those garish adverts cluttering up my screen...are you listening Facebook!
I’d rather pay for my pleasure on line with actual money than suffer these garish, noisy intrusions.
