We have a network of local news sites in the UK which are almost totally unusable on mobile and desktop without javascript disabled and/or aggressive adblocking. That wouldn't be so bad if the actual news content was worth reading; it's mostlty click-bait at best. The owner's clear intent is to milk every last drop of ad revenue they can before the inevitable happens which is really sad since there is a clear need for local news coverage which isn't available elsewhere.
