Side note: Does anybody have an effective way of blocking this stupid Admiral BS, I’ve gotten it to a point where it consistently gives me the bypass option but I’d prefer it to go away entirely

    I’ve tried that before, was I rewarded with peaceful well placed ADs? Hell no, I was inundated with full page auto-playing monstrosities so fuck that.

    Maybe if it’s a small time website I’ll just pay with donations or a subscription, but fuck these big time conglomerate owned websites

      Have you subscribed or paid for many? If so, thank you! But sadly, most of us don’t.

      I’m not talking big conglomerates, I’m talking about independent journalism or folks who are working to build something meaningful or beneficial to me, like webcomics or fantasy hockey.

      Since people started getting news online for free, quality independent journalism has plummeted and we’ve been left with mostly corpo media with a few indies hanging on or getting absorbed into corpo. I think it’s a tragedy which adblockers have accelerated.
