Why even bother with article sites now? Try to search for a quick answer to a question and the only resource is some article and the user is met with:

- "Hi, here's where all your data goes. Please unsubscribe from our 937 partners and continue."

- "DO YOU KNOW WE USE COOKIES?" (Covers 60% of the page).

- "It looks like you're using adblocker. Mind whitelisting us for the 2 minutes we're in your life for? "

- "Before we show you the single sentence answer you're looking for let us promote our shitty content that you'll never click on because we hired the guy who makes shady porn links on every z-list site possible."

- "This article is in multiple parts to spread ad revenue. Click next to continue."

There's probably an extension that stops most of this but christ, it shouldn't be this bad.

    Ikr, adblockers will soon block cookie warnings, adblock blockers, newsletter banners, "don't leave our page" cries when the cursor exits the viewport, and so on.

    I just don't.

    If my extensions block > 10% of the page, I just leave.

    Ooh, and those annoying notification permission requests. Srsly, the browsers should automatically disregard those if you're less than 10min in that domain.

    The thing I hate THE MOST.

    THE ABSOLUTE MOST FROM BOTH PERSPECTIVES.
    IS WHEN YOU MOVE YOUR MOUSE TOWARDS THE SEARCH BAR TO LEAVE AND THEY BASH ANOTHER FUCKING POP UP IN YOUR FACE.

    FUCK YOU AND YOUR COMPANY. I HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE EVEN BEFORE YOU DARED TO THROW YET ANOTHER MESSY FLASHY OVERCOLOR PIECE OF SHIT IN MY FACE.

    "Oh, please don't leave!"
    "You brought this on yourself."
