Must the adverts be so big?

I have no problem with having adverts.
I don't run an ad blocker on this site.
I accept it's the price for a free messageboard.
But since I moved to CAF2.0 and started getting an advert in the
header, the first line of a message and another ad, it's
starting to look really naff.
If the message has a single line of text it is totally
overshadowed by the adverts, see attached.

And it is even worse on a mobile phone. The phone advert takes
up 40%+ of the page. It prevents the user knowing whether
there's content further down or to the right.

And now I see you can have a huge advert top of the board,
another one after the first post in the message and a third at
the bottom.
Do you work for ITV by any chance? :D

Hi, sorry I tried to do this last night but just couldn't login
with all that cloudflare stuff.
My site is comeallwithin.createaforum.com.
I'm mainly viewing on a windows 11 PC with the screen size 1920
* 1080
Otherwise it's a Samsung Galaxy 52A, ANdroid 14
Thanks.

Well, they are on the mobile but they're also on the PC version.
That's where I see them top, after the first post in a thread
and at the bottom.
In my first post, the attached image shows what it looks like on
my PC.

This is what it looks like on my PC before the ads arrive.
You can see I'm losing more than a third of my screen.
I just think this is too big, too intrusive.

And this is a screenshot of my PC screen when we have adverts
top and bottom. The adverts totally overwhelm the actual post
there. As I say, I don't object to the idea of ads, but do they
have to be so large?

Its the default size of google for responsive ads will see if it
can be tweaked
