Annoying Slideshows

I just spent a bunch of time clicking through 68 pages of mind-numbingly boring trivia about 90's celebrities and where they are now - and didn't even get the reward when I finished. Total waste of time, and a frustration. I understand you guys need to make money, but that's a really crappy way to treat your players, even if the reward /did/ work. I'm not going to be looking at any more of those slideshow ads.

All you havbe to do is close that browser tab and you get the reward. THese Ads are the BEST, lowest impact ever. 0 time essentially, or under one second. p.s. the other ones that appear you need to 'share', well you don't. and those also are the best ever, under one second. i love how kong has mad these as oposed to needing to have an exyension or watch half a minute video. all these simce about a week ago have jsut been the best ever

Unless you're suggesting that it only works if you close the tab before you start clicking through, but that would be extremely silly, as CNE would then essentially be preventing their reward-seeking players from actually viewing the content they're being paid to promote. But there now seems to be a "Skip Step" button in the lower right of the pop-up screen for slideshow ads, the clicking of which instantly gives the reward.

We don't control the content of their ads. We will pass it along to Kong that there are some annoying new ads in their rotation, but if players also contact Kong then they might get their supplier to change it faster.
