Video playing, ad that scrolls, two lines of a story, the bottom popping up with notifications every few minutes over the top of more scrolling ads.

Yay internet.

Edit: Oh wow! Did not expect so many responses. First let me say, thank you for taking the time to read and respond! To address the biggest response to use Firefox I actually have it on my phone it’s just remembering to break the habit. This was more to show what an average user who just uses what they’re used to experiences on mobile browsing.

    As a website developer, I can say with certainty that most website developers argue against this shit. We argue until we’re blue in the face. But ultimately it’s not our decision and we’d like to continue having houses to live in and food to eat. They’re arguments that we rarely win, unless we can call on the legal department and get them to balk. Ethics arguments hold no sway for corporate managers, and neither do user experiences.

      And stop arguing once there are consistently commas in the account.

          I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, just that it is what it is. I’m all for people making a living. It’s the other idiots here that seem to think capitalism is a bad thing.
