Wow that is terribly ad ridden.

It never stops being so fucking weird that people choose to not use ad-blockers, and then complain about ads. Do you also not wear seat belts and then complain about neck pain after fender benders, or eat raw meat and then complain about getting sick? It's just as dumb.

It's weird to me that people complain about how long it takes to get to work, why don't they just aggressively speed to get there earlier?

Sites need money to run and many rely on ads. Blocking them is an asshole move (that I admittedly do) but so is dumping them all over a page. It would be nice to have some sort of pay for what you use alternative but until then, bitching isn't half as weird and obnoxious as whatever you're doing in this comment

'Ads' are pure manipulation and is not welcome on any page, or any where - at all. Site owners will have to find another way to make money, than to deliberately scam their readers on behalf of some sh*tty Corp.
