Basically you've been "lucky" with your box drops, and thus resulted in confirmation bias with the results; there are plenty of other players who have not been so lucky, as evident by the numerous "no ads" posts that I've seen in the forum, and also based on my own game play experience.
Chance is Chance, it takes a very long time to get a proper feel for it, which was why I mentioned that there were times I didn't see any ads at all - you cannot make any concrete assumption as to the number of ad boxes you will see over X hours of play; 10% chance does not mean it'll happen once every 10, each of the 10 times have a separate 10% chance of occurring - it may happen all the time (in your case so far), none (in the cases of some other players), or a mix in between (what I've seen enough to go with...)
I do appreciate the suggestion, once I understood it, but it seems like something you can already do in the game itself, as others have been pointing out. Anyway, hope you're enjoying the game nonetheless and will continue playing, have fun.
