Anyone else notice the amount of *accidental* swipes on ads is out of control?

Ive noticed in the past six months or so that, when scrolling, if my thumb even touches an ad, it sends you to their post? This never happens with posts, just ads... I need to actively touch a picture to go to that picture, or hit a friend's comment button to comment, but im constantly back arrowing what feels like every single ad, or have to swipe away from an ad by placing my finger outside of its frame.

Is META doing this to give advertisers inflated, false interaction stats?
