The ads are substantial, invasive (hard to follow the text) and for me were borderline NSFW.

Definitely a situation for reader mode.

You may be tired of hearing this, but, well, I had no idea there were ads on this page. I don’t have any browser extensions. I just use a hosts file from http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/

On Android, I don't see any ads with Firefox, but I do with Chrome.

Edit: No, actually that is because I have uBlock Origin enabled on Firefox.

I looked with FF both with and without ublock, and I don't see any ads. I don't understand people who gripe about ads when the solutions are ubiquitous and friction-free these days.

Ads only showed on mobile. On desktop, with FF and uBlock disabled, I didn't see any. I had Tracking Protection enabled though.

If you read the thread, you'd know that the author changed the ad settings an hour after I commented.

Also, just checked again, still ads on Firefox.

I also mentioned a solution.

I thought the website was well laid out and easy to read. uBlock Origin makes a huge difference.

It's Google AdSense with Auto ads (In-page ads, Matched content, Anchor, Ad load: max). I reduced the Ad load to min just now.

That does seem a bit better, thanks.

One thing I'm noticing is that your text structure looks a bit similar to mine, and the short paragraphs don't dovetail well with horizontal ads. It's hard to track whether the text is part of the ad or the page.

I should probably keep that in mind if I start trying to make any of my own work pay for itself.

Firefox and uBlock Origin. No ads. Like it or not, you kind of have to use a good ad blocker these days.

Ran the site through GTMetrix https://gtmetrix.com/reports/peteris.rocks/5gIfn1Ef It's like ad central, sadly.

I turned off uBlockO and refreshed ... woah .. full banners in random parts of the page. Interesting...
