The X doesn't close - the three dots don't bring up a menu - both of those open the advertisement's URL the same as clicking on the ad itself (media.kbin.social)

What adblocker do you use? I find ublock origin to be pretty good.

uBlock Origin. Annoyances, and Fanboy Anti-Facebook is also enabled. I've noticed lately that a fair number of 'sponsored' ads have been slipping through. Facebook is always freaking Whack-a-mole with ads. This so far takes the cake for shady advertising practices though.
