I don’t really understand the complaint. If you don’t like the CNN website, don’t go to CNN or use CNN lite, which has been well documented on HN. No one is forcing you to visit the site.
Also, blocking webfonts is trivially easy at this stage so if you have specific complaints then you can take matters into your own hands with little more than a flip of a setting.
- thekingofrome 4y agoThe complaint is more about the general direction that the web is taking. It's all well and good saying "just don't use X website", but most news sites have plenty of features that are either annoying or outright disrespectful to the user. That aside though, somebody who likes articles published by CNN has good reason to complain, because the things they like are being filled with bloat/are annoying to access.

- allarm 4y agoIdk, in my case I just stopped using web at all, with some exceptions like hn and some messengers. I’ve passed the point where I missed “the old web”, I don’t really care anymore. I’m back to reading books, that’s what I had been doing before the Internet, so that’s just getting back to roots. I don’t read news, I haven’t been using social networks for at least a decade, and I feel good. Modern web is a shit show I just can’t stand.
- remram 4y agoI don't understand the complaint. If you don't have a problem with the web or don't experience those problems, don't comment on this HN thread. No one is forcing you to like it or engage with this post.
