Here's what opening that site without an ad blocker feels like:

Must be very conducive to reading

That is both a comical and sad state of affairs.

Perhaps you would like the archived page instead if you don't have an adblocker, though I recommend installing one.

For some reason these archive.something websites through me into an endless captcha loop on all of my devices. Doesn't happen with any other website.

I have had ad blockers for so long that I forgot how the unfiltered web looks like. I don’t know how people do it.

Those people pay for our web.

I think complaining about ads on a website is reasonable if you're paying to access the website.

If one day it becomes possible to host a website for free, it would also be reasonable to complain about ads on it.

I think it's okay to complain about the design and presentation of the ads even on a free service. It's unreasonable to expect sites not to have some form of monetization of users that are not going to pay for the content, but that monetization should be reasonable and thoughtful. Of course, we can simply avoid that site altogether.

It is always fair game to complain about shit web design on sites you others are expected to use or read. The ads presented are part of that.
