CW-183: Codewars in-house adverts only showing

[Voileexperiments]

When I opt-in to showing "ads to learn about new developer focused products" as Red user, I expect the terms given to me below to mean exactly that as the ads' interest:

However since last year or so the ads have begun to be used to display content irrelevant to this stated interest:

(Not pictured: CW swag ad, from a few months ago)

CW ads used to be Carbon ads that actually displays developer focused products. Now it's just pulling the same, 4 ad banners, where 3 of them are CW's Medium blogposts (the other is a Qualified ad). This is not what users have signed up for, and is frankly a downgrade over the previous ads.

At least if you're displaying ads, don't display the same thing all the time. I've been seeing these 4 ads for the last 8+ months.

Hi @Voileexperiments, Thank you for sharing this.

Codewars is currently operating with four advertising services, two external, two internal. We are making significant changes to these to make them more useful to you and other users.

From your screenshots, it looks like you are primarily receiving adverts from our blog, I will escalate this to our engineering team to find out why this is.
