npub1a3r2hmrhs4thgh3776323496fdef9e4ucqk5ak6vdl9m3p9t0ras9cyhhn (npub1a3r…yhhn) yeah some of the tech sites, the number of ads is absolutely monstrous! Permanent footer ad, ad every few paragraphs, pop ups, auto playing videos that follow you down the page etc.
I removed them from my own site (although they were never as bad as above!) as it just wasn't worth the poor user experience.
I understand that websites need to cover costs, but it just encourages people to use ad blockers everywhere and then where does it leave income generation. Paywalls 😞
