I jump on here for the first time today and run through the most recent posts. People are complaining about the loss of body text ant the bar at the top, but what hit me is this:

Kinja is now shoving its other garbage content on my Oppositelock where I can’t not see it. Dammit, I know  I don’t need to click on it, but it’s the equivalent of a sidewalk barker saying, “look at this!” and shoving a flyer in my face while I’m trying to ignore him.

That’s not happening to me. Yet.

Yeah, I’m not seeing it either.  I guess I better enjoy it while I can.

At least Jezebel used  a SFW thumbnail this time.

I actually don’ t mind ads on t he sidebar. That’s where they belong.

These occasional posts are a good reminder to me that kinja exists outside of the mobile platform.

TIL that character I really hate on that country soap opera my wife used to watch has a name in real life.

I don’t know if it’s a desktop vs mobile thing or what.

Last time I remember seeing her face, she was a kid. That’s how much attention I pay to that stuff.

That’s like reminding the kids that there are bad men out there, and to stay inside and lock the door.

I can avert my eyes from US Weekly in the checkout line.  It’s harder when it’s on the screen I’m staring at.

I just mean that I only ever really use kinja on my phone, and so there is no sidebar, and therefore no issues with the sidebar. I forget that people use kinja on not their phones.

Then you are blest.  I don’t know why I am.

It’s actually pretty good. People with “abilities” before the super hero craze started.

I just don’t watch very much TV.  In fact, I canceled my TV subscription.  ATT didn’t like that.  They punished me by raising my internet price.

That possibility scares me because it would mean Kinja is watching.

Hopefully not watching below my waist.  If they are, they deserve the nightmares.

I know I’m watching...

Gotta have ads somewhere though. I’d rather see them sitting silently off to the side than between paragraphs, or as pop-ups or autoplay videos .

Press control on your keyboard and hold it, then hit plus a few times. That should zoom you in to the point where you can’t see the size bar at all.

I’ve been using Oppo fully zoomed for years, ever since they started spewing bullshit I didn’t care about in the recommended links.

That is alarming.

Well of course they can do what they want; it’s their platform and property. But they don’t have to put ads on a privately-organized blog, even if they are hosting it.

Anything is preferable to pop-up videos though.  I love you guys, but I’d leave you forever if I had to endure those daily.

That is a solution.  Not a perfect one because it slows browsing the site, but it does help.

Not for me...
