I consider the ads a helpful feature: they tell me what businesses to avoid. Any business that advertises on a platform that disrespects users as much as Waze doesn't deserve my money. Most ads I see on Waze are for products I didn't want in the first place, but I have stopped eating at Wendy's because now the first thing I associate them with are misleading pins on my map that look like they're trying to alert me of something important. The takeover ads also look just like the popups that alert you of hazards ahead of you on your route, which means I've started ignoring those too, since I instantly dismiss any takeover out of habit. It would be really nice if there was a way to make ads get out of the way of useful features. If Waze would just accept my money, I could stop being so bitter about this. I use Waze a LOT, and it feels like cheap garbage with all the popups. Please, just name your price.
Until then, I hope some of your advertisers see this and know that they're losing business because Waze's hostile behavior is souring their name.

If you have no interest in ticking off people, you shouldn't be advertising on Waze. I actively avoid any business that I see an ad for on Waze, since the ads are incredibly distracting and there's no way to get rid of them, even by paying. It's mostly large chains that I see, and I know there's nothing I can do to change their behavior, but if I ever do see an ad for a local small business, I'll probably actually click on the thing, drive there, and tell the business owner why they should stop advertising via Waze and instead choose a platform that actually respects its users. I'll spend as long as I can delivering this explanation, then leave without buying anything. Maybe that will give them an idea of how I feel having my time wasted every day by Waze's incessant ads.
