It is actually sad to hear people leaving from Adsterra, but I believe that some clarifications and explanations are needed.
1. That ad you had falls under “Software ads” category. They tend to be very aggressive, that’s just how they are. There are no viruses, malwertising, adware, ransomware or anything like that, I can assure you. And you can actually turn off this kind of ads when requesting ad codes.
2. However, that does not explain the redirect issue that you encountered. We do not condone the auto-redirect ads, but they tend to slip through.
3. And that is why we sometimes need your help to react to them! I already reported that ad to our managers, so they can review it thoroughly and ban it, if they deem necessary. And we are always asking our publishers to contact us, if any problem with redirect arises, just so we can react to it faster.
It is sad to see you go, sorry for the inconvenience
It’s been an honor, gentlemen о7
