I love how the state of modern monetisation on the web now is literally unacceptable in almost every way and the rate at which advertisements are shoved in your face so much and are so often maliciously coded is increasing almost every year to the point it’s almost impossible to use the internet now without an adblocker.

But we have to have this thread every goddamn month about how much of a hero OP is for not having ublock installed.

Nothing about the current ecosystem for the internet monetisation is okay, sitting around patting yourself on the back about how it is, is just hampering the efforts being made by actually forward thinking web developers to explore avenues for healthier methods of sustaining platforms that don’t need advertising.

So no OP, the overly predatory nature of modern web advertising IS asshole design. It doesn’t matter how many times this thread is made.
