  Hello,
  I’ve been notified by several of my blog readers over the past month or so that there are video ads running on my posts at the bottom near my comments section. I am not loading these ads myself and don’t know why they are appearing on my blog. If you all are running ads unbeknownst to your users, I want to know how to stop this. It is not okay with me.
  Thank you.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It’s in the TOS. Many users don’t read it so they don’t know there are ads. The ads are not shown to logged-in users.

  You can remove ads by purchasing the no-ads upgrade.
