Oh wow, I also forward that site around, and sometimes comment on the great minimal design and information density.
Just had a look at it with uBlock Origin disabled, and wow, how do people browse the internet like this?
- m0xte 6y agoIndeed. I showed my 80 year old mother uBlock Origin and she actually said it made her remaining time more useful. That really put it into perspective.
- dillutedfixer 6y agoIt really is jarring when you see your regularly visited websites without ad blocking. A news site that I look at has infinite scrolling ads of those "Dentists everywhere are furious about this trick" with a picture of an avocado boiling in water or something equally ridiculous. I realize that ad blocking does take money away from site operators, and I do pay for many of the news sites that I frequent. But honestly a site that is willing to blast me with ads about how I can cheat my insurance company with ONE SIMPLE TRICK doesn't deserve money from my clicks. And I do get that they often can't choose what ads are shown. Perhaps that's the bigger issue. Edit: elaborated on my final point.
