What I'm seeing in this link: every image and every paragraph is followed by the same Teleflora banner ad that scrolls open when you scroll past that image or paragraph. At some point an animated Revlon ad also appears which expands to fill the entire page. The sidebar and bottom of just about every page is consumed by ginormous BS "Trending now!" links to "25 celebrities you didn't know posed topless!" and "The weight loss trick that they don't want you to know!" articles on other equally disreputable sites. The page for this article looks like satire, it's so ridiculous and seedy and invasive. I wanted to read the article, I really did.
- bonoboTP 11y agoDo you refuse to use adblockers based on some moral principle?
- mwfunk 11y agoNo. But any site that is willing to go to that length to compromise their content (for people who don't use ad blockers) clearly doesn't value their content or the people who read it. That's the message it sends.

- GnarfGnarf 11y ago"Gaius Pumidius Dipilus was here on October 3rd 78 BC" That's apocryphal, right? How did he know it was "BC"?
- lostlogin 11y agoIt gets weirder when you consider that Christ was most likely born between 7 and 2 BC.
