No great surprise is it. Advertising revenue is massive online and if you can block peoples adverts you're naturally going to get advertisers knocking on your door offering you more cash to let them display their adverts.
Yahoo mail introduced a spam blocker years ago with a spam folder. To begin with it was pretty decent and yes it does filter virtually all the phishing emails but it does frequently let through genuine advertising emails too - I wonder why
It's not like yahoo make their money from advertising on their free services is it lol.

I'd missed that.
What isn't in that topic is that by turning off the option "Allow some non-intrusive advertising" apparently stops the paid for ads (for now).
Try looking in filter preferences!

Ah, didn't see it, with a lot of signatures with pictures in on the forum makes me ignore text & imagery below posts unless they say they have an attached item...
