title: Yet another example of why everyone uses adblockers author: 寮 date: 2022-06-12 16:22:57 tags: blog,technology,webdev,internet

This is peak ad insanity.
Big ass ad above the article, even bigger ass ad embedded on the right, smaller add embedded to the bottom, ads after every single paragraph, automagic full screen video ad of which the close button is barely visible that shows up as you scroll down.

This is why everyone uses adblockers, this is why more and more people disable JS, this is why uMatrix is so essencial while browsing online.

But at least it motivated me to fix the extensions issue I've been having, so I finally fixed uMatrix to work again, and that websoyte is far more readable without all these ads.
