Recipe sites are the literal worst for ads. Right behind them are the autogenerated article sites that repost answers to commonly searched questions, but plot twist: the answer given is generic and does nothing but restate the question.
this is what 10+ years of SEO has done
Also Websites: "WhY dOeS eVeRYoNe UsE Ad bLoCkErS?!?!"
If I make it to the actual recipe, I take a screenshot because I know that moment of victory is fleeting
"So they're loading 4MB of the script to make their 2.5MB website faster"
Ad blockers wouldn't exist if we just had a reasonable amount of ads. But this shit gets in the way of user experience. It's a disgrace.
Whenever i find a website that is plain html. I know that it is pure wisdom
"OK, That's a tradeoff"
This ads probably have zero conversion because the user clicked the ad by error.
I am so fatigued. I am so tired. Someone take me out. I am ready to move to the woods and throw this god damn spy machine in the river.
Not lying, a white area on the side for notes is not that bad of a idea.
lets be honest most of these will be shitty Wordpress sites using a ridiculous amount of unchecked plugins
This was a season of South Park. An insignificant amount of the plot was about detecting ads.
You should put the link of the full video in description as well.
The website: "we noticed you're using an adblocker. Pleeeaseee turn it off so we don't starve this month". You turn off adblock and the site is 99.99% ads totaling 3GB of download, the content you want is like one paragraph totaling 1KB.
Browsing the web now with and without ad blocker is a completely different world. I was horrified when browsing youtube on my phone one time.
I'm trying to learn cooking, and navigating these recipe websites is a major pain. I've decided to just write up all the recipes I succeed with and put them on my website without all the ads and crap. So far I have my own mail server which is pretty useful and some image boards on the site
Web devs are crying now
The Internet is getting WORSE people! Honestly, just using it these days is giving me grey hairs in places I never knew I had!
