Just take a look at this ad on the Verge (https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/5/16966530/intel-vaunt-smart-glasses-announced-ar-video https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/5/16966530/intel-vaunt-smart...). It takes 90% of the screen, and they wonder why people use ad blockers. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/f1eOGS https://ibb.co/f1eOGS

Do you have a screenshot? I don't feel like enabling JS for that site. Moreover, a screenshot would keep your argument understandable for readers who might encounter your comment in a year or later, when that site changed their layout or perhaps doesn't exist anymore.

This is actually one the least annoying ad formats, at least in relation to size. You can simply scroll p and it’s gone. It’s also at the top of the page, not interrupting your reading. It’s far better than an overlay that requires you to close it by hitting a tiny x.
