Yes, using an adblocker would be a way for me to not see ads.

But I'm not using one because I usually don't mind seeing ads as it's the main income for most sites.

In this case the ad to content ratio is just too much for my taste. Too many ads and not enough distinction between ads and content.

BTW I tried to add more constructive criticism in another reply https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36653500 as the parent is flagged dead by now it might not be easily visible

The ads aren't the problem.

The problem is the spy industry behind.

Surfing without content blocker is like selling your soul and your first born to the devil, to get nothing in return.
