I could probably hack my way there by having javascript disabled and/or deleting the right elements, but frankly there are enough other things to do in the world and in the end 99% of the internet is optional, and it deserves to feel optional when it does this

Worst part? They could totally show ads without trackers through their own servers and my tracker blocker (I don't run a fucking ad blocker) can't stop them.

Hell, I'd even be good with that. Show me the damn ads.

They. Just. Won't.

They often have no control over what the ads are, so the ads are still usually scams regardless of conglomerate or smol bean.

today, the history teacher wanted to show something because it would add to the explanation, and there was a huge ad that said "click here for FREE ROBUX"

internet ads feel less like ads and more like scams

Knock yourself out when it's giant media conglomerates, but smaller content creators are a different story.
