Wtf is this page
I actually did, you have to scroll for like a minute past comments (?) and ads to see the rest of this "article". Wow, hello future entry on my block list.
I always move straight to the screen shots. These are feeds I get via RSS, so I never actually "browse" that site.
i didn't encounter any adds; are you using ublock origin? chrome?
I checked again and you are right, what I saw was just some other article images. I do use ublock so I should have been tipped off that those shouldn't be ads. Still the rest is true and cutting an article for some weird kind of user engagement is very silly.
yes, it's old news to me and probably you; but i think it bares repeating since there will always be someone who didn't already know.
