alt Hacker NewsI know everyone hates ads or whatever, but why would anyone make content on their own website anymore if google and the browser are doing everything in their power to keep your users from interacting with your own page. Also I don't want to hear the crap about ads being too invasive, its their content, they can do that if they want, and you can not have access to their content. They have to be able to monetize the page to get viewers and its their mistake to make if they make it annoying that doesn't give everyone the right to their work.
