ads causing lag
K4T4stroPhe
please do something about the ads causing lag. it’s become increasingly difficult to use magma especially on mobile with the amount of lag the ads cause. every time a new ad loads, magma freezes for at least 30 seconds, if an ad is a video, the screen with freeze and not register touch until the ad is done playing and will continue to be laggy even once it’s finished and the next ad loads. even after multiple reloads or leaving the site for a few hours, the lag persists. it’s extremely frustrating trying to illustrate or use any tools since every ad causes lag or the site the crash and forcibly reload (which deletes any progress you make beforehand!). i understand that there’s a reason the ads were implemented and you need funds (?) and having ads disrupting the canvas then adding an option to remove them is a way to get those funds, but in my honest opinion, RUINS the user experience, at least mine for sure, and i’m sure it ruins other users experiences. especially if they cannot pay to remove ads or just don’t want to, which is fair. i’ve been using magma ever since it was called aggie, and honestly, as much as i love the site/program i never want to pay to remove ads because i used to be able to use magma when it had no ads. ive seen other users complaining about the the lag happening even pc and just general complaints ever since ads came out. i wish i had some ideas of alternatives but i dont. if the ads have to stay, then id just say to please look into why they cause so much lag, why the lag persists even after multiple reloads, and maybe a quicker autosave so users don’t lose progress if they crash, or remove them off the canvas and find a different spot to put them. i love aggie/magma a lot, its been my go-to for a while, so i wouldnt be writing this if i didnt care, so please, for all your users and to-be users, move the ads or find a way to make them not ruin the one thing the site was made for, drawing.
