I usually don't complain about these and maybe it's just me but something in the wording or how it appears on the new one left me with a strong desire to leave the sites. I've never read any posts from any of these authors of course I wouldn't sign up before I read at least one of their posts.
- seanp2k2 4y agoBetween these and GDRP cookie crap plus all the different kinds of ads these days, the internet is the least usable it's ever been. Even with AdGuard Home DNS servers, UBlock Origin, and aggressive blocklists, it's still not great.
- cplusplusfellow 4y agoI’ve said recently in despair: the internet used to not suck but by god it does now.
- q7xvh97o2pDhNrh 4y agoYeah, it's definitely being A/B tested into some sort of horrifying local maximum (or minimum, really). Eventually it'll just be pop-ups all the way down. A couple years ago, I changed my uBlock Origin settings to disable JS by default on every site. I only re-enable JS when necessary on a per-site basis. I find myself having to do it a little more often these days, but it's still made everyday web surfing so much more pleasant — and secure, too.
