Opened up article, was met with politically charged ad asking me to subscribe, closed tab.
- kyleschiller 10y agoYeah, luckily Google has promised to start punishing this, but it does feel like growth hacking has made my browsing much less pleasant.
- 21 10y agoOpened up article, was not met with anything because I use an ad-blocker. Opened article in different browser to see said politically charged ad. I would say it's a decent ad, it just states the facts (Trump is president, thus his era began, role of media is to keep power in check), not sure why it offended you, and said publication is pretty fair and balanced in my view.
- keyboardhitter 10y agoOne can dislike advertisements without being offended by them.
- Dylan16807 10y agoCalling it out like that for being slightly political comes across as being offended to some extent.
- kdamken 10y agoNot sure if you saw something different, but I think slightly political was an understatement. Hacker news is one place I go where to try and get away from all the political noise out there.
- khedoros1 10y agoI'm running uBlock Origin, but the ad popped up. Which ad-blocker are you using?
- 21 10y agouBlock Origin + BetterPrivacy + Disconnect + Privacy Badger + I don't care about cookies. One of them did the job.
- khedoros1 10y agoPrivacy Badger and Ghostery dislike something in this version of Pale Moon, and I haven't gotten around to trying to fix things. I wonder if one of them would've caught it.
