This is 100% the fault of shitty advertisers spamming us with literal scams, malware, and spyware.

I get that ads pay for a free internet. But that doesn't mean that 60% of my screen needs to be malware to read a local news article.

Until advertisers act in good faith, I block as much as possible.

Or those scummy click bait ads disguised as related articles? They make my blood boil with how they prey on the vulnerable.
