Sometimes I wonder why most websites decorate their pages with ads making it difficult to read the main content.

The highlighted area on the image is the only scrollable portion of the page.

So that you tap the ad by accident.

I've forgotten that some people don't have adblock on their phones.

Brave browser for sanity.

Soo ur from Nigeria. :>

u did a selfdox kinda hehe

Most sites dont do it themselves, all it takes is 1 AdSense JS and it spams the ads in the DOM async

blame google :p

At least you don't have cookie banners

If I see websites like this I just leave.

@electrineer AdBlock, pihole, badger, etc....

I'm disappointed more people don't use any of these tools.

@sariel I’m personally against adblockers. What I dislike on the above is the abuse on advertising.

@GiddyNaya I'm curious why you're against them?

"I wonder why most websites decorate their pages with ads making it difficult to read the main content" - it's simple.

the harder the content is to read, the longer users are staring at their screen.

the more overladen the page is with ads, the more users are staring at ads.

both are just, in the true spirit of cappitalism, ways to maximise ad profit.

most of us are actually not human, but ferengi, as it seems.

@tosensei ++ for the Star Trek ref.

But the problem is when you open the site through Facebook or something and it opens it in the inbuilt browser; no ad block

@Inigo if the app uses the api from android you just need to set your browser xyz to be the default and in my expierience firefox used the installed ublockorigin addon.

@Inigo wow, a rare Facebook user! Really?

I personally wouldn't use adblock that only works in a browser, it's better to have one that works for all apps system-wide.

@GiddyNaya As you are against ad blockers, you just get what you deserve.

@Demolishun remember. nerdiness is eternal

What's there to wonder about? 💰

The thing to ask is why they arent rotating the ads (Which would be even more annoying) cause last I checked most ads pay if they are viewed for 1-2. seconds and you don't get more for showing them for 10 seconds.

So really would expect more sticky ad slots don't swap the ads often
