This test of ads has been going on since about the beginning of the year ... it's not going well ... they may be removed when the testing is done.

Thanks @deeanndmathews - I am not a fan it makes PeakD look like any other forum site out there rather than the great modern app that it is.
I do not like it either for roughly the same reason ... I simply refuse to engage with them, thereby helping the test fail!
I am completely unaware of this for some reason. I have never seen an ad that I know of (or recall) on Peakd, which is good because I am aware of the financial power advertisers gain over those paid by them, and will oppose them to the limits of my power.
It may have to do with your settings -- I manually went in and turned them off once I knew that was a option.
If there is such a setting I probably automatically set it to not show me ads on principle, a principle I maintain, because advertisers necessarily gain influence over their chosen venues, and that's just the beginning of the noxious influence of stake and pandering it farms.
