The site is unusable on mobile because of the aggressive ads
Sorry, I have an ad blocker on my phone so I genuinely have no idea if there are ads on a site or how bad they are anymore on mobile. Try flipping to reader view to see it without ads?
That's on you for not using an adblocker.
Oh really? It's not on the site for placing aggressive ads?
If you don’t have an ad blocker installed though, seriously, I can’t recommend getting one enough. It’s legit like night and day how different it is. There are occasional inconveniences, but it is overall so, so much better for browsing QoL.
As far as I'm concerned, all ads are aggressive. I don't want to see any ads, period. Using an adblocker is a norm. It's not only a matter of civilized online experience but also privacy and security (latest example). Of course you are not required to use one, but don't go online complaining you see ads.
I'm not following. How am I supposed to let everyone knows that this site is shit without complaining?
Everyone else should use adblockers too.
