Web advertising has really gotten out of hand.

Most news sites dedicate more real estate to ads than actual content. Even worse, sites like Bloomberg scroll like a janky piece of shit because of all the gaddamn ads constantly loading resources, and phoning home to help the fucks spy on me.

Marketers ruin everything.

    @Letmecode very concise summary of the problem.

    Fully agree right up until the last sentence.

    The fault lies with the site owners, IMO, not the marketers. Site owners shouldn't be overloading their site with ads so much that it performs so crappily.

    Tell them that with your eyes/clicks (aka, don't use the sites that do this)

    @civel I do. If sites run like shit on any platform I just nope out of it. If they're going to overload it with garbage, I don't want to see their site.

    Is an ad blocker out of the question? Pretty sure its the first thing I install on new machines.

    Am I missing something?

    @darkcode i don't even know how big of a problem it is. I installed adblocker years back, when it started getting bad, and haven't been bothered since

    Adblock Plus people, come on.

    Also use Ghostery extension to keep them from phoning home with your info :D
