We’re in a very strange moment for the internet. We all know it’s broken. That’s not news. But there’s something in the air—a vibe shift, a sense that things are about to change.

    Oh the irony, I opened the site which has no less than 3 popups and it immediately fried my mobile browser. I had to kill the tab.

          Are you not using ublock or something too? I didn’t see any of that and is all I have installed. Maybe I just got lucky.

      And people ask why we use adblocks… my potato computer can’t even browse the web without blocking as much stuff as I can.

      My pihole guaranteed that my experience remained pristine. The author didn’t make any money from my visit, but their income loss is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

      Which is really what the whole problem here boils down to.
