I have that response to ads and the scumslop (Taboola / Outbrain) crud that shows up on pages. I've got adblockers, and block the domains as well.
Was reading a story on how the media undermine itself with a bunch of examples, and even re-reading the article and knowing these are part of the story, my response is to click to block, or assume that I've reached the end of the article, when I see that stuff. It's just toxic.
Good piece though. Sean Blanda, "Medium, and The Reason You Can’t Stand the News Anymore", Jan 2017:
