Adsterra is so bad. Any good alternative for banner ads?

I've been using adsterra banner ad in my site for a year now and users complaining about a mobile redirect and unable to use my site keeps happening. I think adsterra is cheating on me since I opted to only putting one banner ad on the site for better user experience but if this still happens then it kills the purpose. I also suspect that the slow growth of my site can be partially blamed to adsterra hijacking their banner ad to earn from redirects. The only reason I've used them so far is because they basically ignore DMCA complaints which I once had an issue with from JuicyAds before.

I'd love to hear any better alternative ad networks for banner ads so I can ditch Adsterra for good.

Run away from Adsterra, I had the same problem, besides their ads with malware, the banners redirected constantly and I lost users during my tests. Try Clikadu, I've been using it recently and everything is fine. JuicyAds too (afterwards I don't know about the Dmca because I haven't had any for the moment).
 
banners => adcash
popunder, direct link, push (included in social bar) => adsterra is very good
for popunders you can also try popads, monetag (non-adult, and get a manager)

I had an issue with Juicyads where they locked my payment until I comply to a DMCA takedown notice sent to them (which was a false claim but they didn't care) so I had to comply before they unfroze my payout. After that, I just removed my website and put the content they wanted down back up again. I had no issues with Juicyads besides that and the piss-poor pay rates.

Anyway, I want to hear some confirmation first about an ad's DMCA compliance to avoid getting scammed by a network that would refuse payouts later.

No, thanks. I already reached out to support several times for the past year but nothing happened. I already removed your banner ad to avoid further damage to my SEO and bad site rep to the audience.

Wow...
We had the exact same experiences with Adsterra 10 years ago. It seems like nothing has changed. This is obviously standard business operating procedure for Adsterra.

I have just decided to go ad-free for Reezu.com after adsterra horror show. Planning to build few stores and use affliate ads rather then crappy and intrusive ad networks.
