A lot of web pages are just completely unusable or unreadable now.
It uses all sorts of manipulations to auto play video ads, pop ups, picture unders, user tracking, page interaction telemetry, etc.
All kinds of nonsense to display an article to you, which if it really is important, then another writer would have also written about it.
Some websites I just avoid completely, when I see the url.
These websites should just go with a pay-to-read subscription model instead. If their junk is interesting enough, then they’ll find enough people willing to pay a few cents to read it.
