Today using the ios chess.com app I experienced several times pop up ads with stupid you won this and that content. A pop up I actually had to click OK to to get rid of. Is this going to be a thing or is it just a mishap?

I don't know how much control the site has over ads on the apps.

 

You might open a ticket about it and see what staff says.

Wow... I thought the chess.com community was better than this. First of all. I have been a paying diamond member, but at the moment I don't have time to study chess as much so I am not a diamond member right now. There is no reason to be offensive and where I come from has nothing to do with this. That's just being rude. I know things cost money and I have nothing in against ads on free products. I am talking about pop ups like this:" your iPhone has been randomly selected to win an iPhone 6s! " I would assume chess.com does not like to have these scam ads running. Today I had to dismiss two(!) popups of this kind during one move. I'll submit a ticket to chess.com. Not because I dislike ads, but to let them know what kind of ads are currently running. Have a nice day !
