I am wondering are the ads I get on my android phone due to low PM price and can I cancel them?

@toddmatheson

One has nothing to do with the other one.

So no.

@toddmatheson Unless you are referring to texts/emails (which you might have subscribed to) for promos or payment heads up, PM doesn't send any ads that I'm aware of.

Maybe you're getting those because of an APP you've recently downloaded?

@toddmatheson

Can you screenshot an ad and post it here?

Can you also elaborate when you're receiving these ads? Is it while using Google and could it be that you're simply receiving Google ads based on prior content searching? That, unfortunately, comes with the wonderful world of Google.

@toddmatheson , if you are trying to AdBlock on your browser, android phones can use the blokada app.

@toddmatheson There's a system wide ad blocker called AdGuard, you have to go to settings, search and find Private DNS mode, and then enter dns.adguard.com into the DNS.

@toddmatheson it is true advertisements help subsidize the cost of many of your online activities, but that didnt help to fund your CPO phone. You will get as many ad on a full price top tier phone as your bargain priced CPO phone

Here are some ways to help to reduce those annoying ad:
