This is the pcgamer website without adblock!
I discovered this this morning as I was trying out a Lemmy app (thunder) instead of my ad blocked Firefox and followed an article link.
In less than 800 words there were:
- 3 full page ads to dismiss
- an auto playing video taking up 1/4 of the screen that follows as you scroll
- a sticky animated footer banner
- and a half page animated ad between each paragraph.
Fuck that. Fuck any organizational that does that to it’s product or has that level of contempt for it’s users.
I support content creators but ad block is necessary for safety, privacy, and the overall usability of the Internet.
Yep that app is definitely not a privacy nightmare. No.
