Hopefully not soon-to-be heading for all of Kinja... It did let me just X out (for now).

I saw that last week. That, the scrolling stories, hard to read comments - I’m visiting Jalopnik/Gizmodo less and less.

And I thought it was bad when they went to version 5.0 or whatever thy called it a few years ago (pre-Kinja fucking it all up)

Ugh, I will not visit sites that do that unless they are polite about adverts. There are very few sites that are polite with their adverts.

Hey, paying people to break shit all day long takes ad revenue, baby. Sweet, sweet Taboola ad revenue.

I wouldn’t use an adblocker if the ads weren’t so obnoxious and prolific.

So there.

With only 1GB per month on my data plan, I refuse to visit any Gawker (or whatever they’re called these days) sites on my phone. Too many ads with all sorts of video and other crap that I can’t bypass. I suspect that this will come back to bite them in the ass...

Looking back 5.0 (which caused a mass exodus) wasn’t so bad!

UniVision Enginering stock had a good month, maybe Univision Holdings can as well!

I tried to link a picture of UniVision Engineering’s stock price history, but of course the Publish button disappears once I add the picture. Classic Kinja’d.

Sounds like it might be a chicken and egg sort of thing...

I didn’t use one until they started making pages take forever to load, and causing my place to jump around while I was trying to read. And the autoplay ones.

I have a feeling as long as the current chickens are writing, the eggs will continue to be stinky. Regardless if how much they get fed.

Yup - I’d kill to go back to that :)

Because I’m currently on a ‘foreign’ dataplan even 1 GB is a lot for me. So when not on WiFi I use a browser that blocks out all images (and videos and ads). Images can be loaded manually. The main pages become far more bearable that way.

That’s pretty good advice. Any recommendations on which browser I should try?

If they adlock it like some sites, I’m outta here.

Yeah, guarantee me your ads won’t be a vector for malware and I’ll disable my adblock. I’ve seen some pretty shady ads on Gawker sites.

I have Firefox on my Android phone. I have the uBlock Origin add-on for it, and it does a respectable job of making the internet suck much less while on the go.

People have said this about:

ads

pop ups

pop unders

larger ads

text ads

if you can deal with the above, you can deal with ad-locked content, if the ads are minimally intrusive, who cares. How else are websites supposed to make money with everyone using ad blockers? I run some blogs myself and while it’s not my main source of income, I do rely on some people being nice enough not to block ads.

I use the “allow non intrusive ads” setting, but that isn’t good enough for some sites.

Unfortunately. That would be great, if that solved it all.
