    I used to use MSN.com as my main news source, but lately I can't. The various news videos have become difficult to watch. I understand the need for ads but playing them every 2-to-3-minute intervals makes it difficult to watch the videos. Even a 3-to-5-minute video comes with at least 2 ads. Even the source of the video from another news source gets the same interruptions. I no longer have MSN as my home page.

      Simply the amount of advertisements in watching the videos on msn.com - WOW - a 3 minute video is interrupted multiple times for an advertisement, often the same advertisement, at 15 seconds on average - compared to the average advertisement PER video or every other video (or following the average 30 minute episode on tv commercial break for longer videos tempo) - but MSN... what in the world, it's like you DON'T want consumers - what is wrong with you??

      It's kind of funny how many of these reviewers think MSN has a liberal bias. No sweetheart, you're just clicking on those articles so their pathetic algorithm thinks that is what you want to see. Regardless, the content is mostly junk and it's almost impossible to find the relevant stories. You've got about 25% ads, 50% slop, and 25% is politics even with tweaking settings. On top of everything, the censorship in the comment community guidelines is abhorrent and should be investigated for infringing on first amendment rights.

They can take their guidelines and cram them! Negative 5 stars! It seems if you get flagged too many times, the Chatbot 5000 gets pissy and ALWAYS flags you.

      Multiple problems, but primarily unsafe.
      1. I have reported a site that advertises with them that my Norton's pops up to tell me it's a scam, unsafe, and to run a scan just for going there. MSN doesn't care that they're running scam and potentially dangerous ads. If you don't have good protections, your information and your money are at risk. To continue to promote the ad is negligence and if you are scammed, you could and should sue MSN.
      2. Propaganda, just clickbait and crap that hasn't been substantiated, has long since been notable, or has already been proven to be untrue.
      3. Repeating-honestly, if there is so little going on in the world that you have to repeat the above garbage, give us a rest.
      4. Not responsive to requests or complaints.

      5. Makes it difficult to change to another home page. The information from their own site, not there when you go to use it in settings to change the home page. That's sneaky.

If you don't agree with their politics they will delete your posts or turn off comments entirely.

      I read Microsoft's MSN news every day and for the past 2 years I have noticed they are allowing so many trolls that you cannot read the comments because they pop up every second and are mostly negative about American politicians. I talk with several friends daily and when we try to look up "Why Does MSN News allow so many trolls in comments" either the questions on their threads are blocked or are just non-excitant on the internet. That means they are controlling that feed and do not want people talking about it freely.
