Why do annoying video ads keep popping up Right On Top of the posts?? (not between them where all the other ads are) They keep blocking what I’m trying to read on here and it’s highly irritating! 🤨

It’s an ad world. One of the few places I can escape the pressure to buy is a public institution like a library

I'm probavbly going to get downvoted to hell for this, but I still think the lot of you are pessimists. Yes, these are bad things that should've been corrected long ago. Yes they should be the "base". But they aren't. So when these issues are eventually fixed, at least show a little gratitude instead of immediately complaining that it wasn't done sooner.

alot of these weren't wholesome because it made me think that we shouldn't have to fix those things like the dogs and animal abuse and the "wholesome" thing was that they were saved. like its so bad that they are abused

Too many of these are marred by commenters who just HAVE to sh*t on the topic or bring up unrelated things. Just let people have a moment without misery!

Some of these are so sad though. Eg. Dog rescued (yay)... after being abandoned (cries). Can we get a good stories that are happy without having to justify the hardships and emotional baggage people went though plz? Uplifting needs to be light.
