Why in the world would you put a near full-page sized ad at the top of the article? I seriously thought that the site had been hijacked at first

- infinityplus1 6y agoDon't you use an adblocker?
- hnrodey 6y agoI've used this successfully for years. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts While not your traditional ad blocker done via browser extension, it does the job quite well and blocks the requests at the OS level. I'm not the author or maintainer, just a very happy user.
- MacSystem 6y agoI use brave browser
- neurotrace 6y agoI avoid using one on smaller sites so I can support content creators
- speedgoose 6y agoI prefer to support them by sending actual money. I value my privacy and the loading speed of a website.
- wolco 6y agoDid you send money for the article you just read? If not maybe they need ads. So many people say they would rather pay directly but few do when given the chance.
- speedgoose 6y agoNot this specific article, but I do pay to read content. You don't need so many paying readers to get more money than ads. I also think that people should stop putting ads on their website when the gains are so little. If writing is your job, write for a proper good media.
- FunnyLookinHat 6y agoI had the same thought... but then I realized they managed to share two very minor factoids about Javascript and reach front-page HN with it - so kudos to them for milking us for CPMs. :)
