I noticed a political ad on my site today.
I do not want ads like this. It could cause me to lose followers.

When will we get the opportunity to opt-out of certain types of ads, like MediaVine clients get to?

Hey Margaret,
Journey by Mediavine ads are programmatic. In a programmatic advertising setup, all ads are served based on each individual reader, their browsing history, and browser cookies. For example, a political ad/candidate you may be seeing is not the same as what your readers may be seeing. Advertisers buy advertising in order to target certain users.
I visited your site on my computer and my phone and I didn't run into any political ads. I just saw ads for Walmart, Huggies, Amazon, and Sleep Number.
We have received feedback for ad filtering and it's definitely on our radar but it's not something we currently offer.
