While I do agree with you and recommend everyone uses them, I still don't believe this is acceptable for websites and that we are basically forced to use adblockers if we don't want migraines
For real, we should start pointing fingers at the root cause.
I'm using the Hack app on iOS, it uses the integrated browser which does not block ads.
You saw what they wanted you to see.
NOTABUG, working as intended.
It's not acceptable and part of the reason I close many articles otherwise. Have you seen the crap Medium does?
I have not, because I use Brave on PC and AdGuard on iOS like a rational human.
Probably a symmetric escalation. Website uses ads, some people start blocking it, website has to compensate by using more ads, even more people block it, etc.
It’s properly designed if the goal of the website is to deliver ads aggressively. I’m guessing management doesn’t really care about what’s on the remain 25% of your screen.
