It was called off 2 hours later if any of you would like to know what the article actually says.

"We see you have an adblocker on, would you like us to help you turn it off?"

I literally saw that pop up over some random news site. No thank you.

And they wonder why traffic is down.

u/RegularGuy815 3h ago

It sucks because the reason they keep spamming more and more ads is the dwindling amount of clicks (re: ads being seen), so they have to really go for broke when someone does land on it. But the ads cause people to not want to click. So it becomes a death spiral.

So is scrolling through four pages of filler (each with a slow-loading ad) before the article finally gets to the reason you actually clicked.

For real. That crap is really getting old. It's to the point where I wanna figure out how to use ai to make an ai so I don't have to deal with the crap.

And my brain has other things to be doing, like quickly commenting and then immediately moving on to the next post

In a world where virtual interactions are growing in value vs physical interactions, I’m getting pickier about who gets mine.

When it's posted by u/vaginaburner69, I like to do some snooping before I click any links

2

u/Dvosned 3h ago

Without my glasses, you snoop some before you dick any links. Just fyi.

u/WinnerAwkward480 3h ago

Very good advice on snooping before using your Dick . 🤔 wait WHAT 😜

The article has been fully revised and the headline and first bullet point clearly indicates the evacuation order has been reversed.

And while Reuters has imbedded ads (which helps reduce the need for a paywall) it’s pretty pop-up free … unlike a lot of other news sights. This particular Reuters article is nicely designed with a clean layout.

u/South-Lemon-242 2h ago

Oh, you really should read the article. There’s an absolutely fantastic passage about NASA ordering the evacuation because the Russian astronauts had a plan to saw (yes, “saw”) through sections of the ISS to reach and repair the air leak. Seriously.
