    Now you can add:

    • disable ad blocker to continue
    • set your tracking preference that we’ll forget next visit, but you can’t read until you click it, ok?
    • a video clip with ads playing in banner on top, which plays audio without your permission - then pops up the window just below as you scroll, blocking half the text

    Ive been doing this dance for 30 years. From pop under popup windows in the 90s, adobe flash ads, Java script… and the list just keeps going. I have never bought something, from a web advert that was obnoxious. Google was the only place I willingly allowed ads back in early 2000s; that simple text box on the right with almost relevant adverts to my search. I bought from one of those, once.
