Meanwhile the OP post is so full of ads you’re basically scrolling past a full-screen (on mobile) ad for every paragraph. Then when I came across a chunk of text without ads and thought it was over, an ad got dynamically loaded into the middle of the text pushing what I was reading down off the screen.
Yes in this case I didn’t pay to read the content so they need ads, but the user-hostility of ads everywhere is just insane lately.
- pwg 4y agoFirefox plus Ublock Origin No ads's anywhere on the linked post.
- atom058 4y agoEven with ad blockers and NoScript, the website layout is awful due to the constant blank spaces where the ads used to go, paired with a miniscule viewport for the actual text. I've started to use Reader Mode a lot more lately, and it has been surprising how much more pleasant the Web is when consuming articles this way. Maybe we should Invent a protocol for marking up text documents and sending them over the Internet or something? Maybe call it Actual Text Markup Language?
