Site unusable with full screen popups

Post

Why are there popups taking over the whole screen, repeatedly re-appearing when you close them very 20 or 30 seconds?

You can't read or post without this crap popping up, it will hurt your organic rankings and I for one won't use a site that is so annoying...

Yup, i have had this load of times today. It makes the site very hard to use.
I dont mind it it happens once, but it happens repeatedly even without page loads.
I believe in the chain of command, Its the chain I use to beat you till you do what i want!!!

I run a few ad-blockers on my browsers and a gadget called a Pi-Hole, which is connected to the router and it intercepts pretty much every advert, etc, and removes them from the downloaded pages.
So I get virtually no ads or popups on anything.

This site is now also redirecting me to some other external site which has a title of Null (1x1) and a tiny white pixel in the centre.

But since when did this site do redirects, and worse, those that go to a very dodgy looking page.
