Too many ads. Ads that are large. Ads that are videos. I am privileged enough to have a connection that can serve up the content with all of those ads. But I'm not privileged with the patience to read anything on that site. If you don't want to host your own blog, consider putting it on github.

There is an alternative front end for fandom.com called BreezeWiki. It is open source (written in Racket!), and like with other open source alternative front ends, volunteers run their own instances.

Sounds like you'd benefit from adblock. I've used the Steven Black adblock host list [0] for some time now on all my PCs and it works extremely well. [0] https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
