The distraction aspect is what really gets to me; cancelled my NYTimes subscription after these bright red / orange advertisements loaded all over the page, where the content I was interested in was the bland black text over white background. Couldn't even read the headlines without naturally focusing on the bright red advertisements.

So, do they really have the same ads as you could see without subscription?

I had this experience with my Irish Times subscription too ... it wasn't the main reason I unsubscribed but was a contributor ... actually IIRC it was what prompted me to install an ad blocker in the first place!
