I can't express how awesome it is to have Bungie.org ad free. Thank you Claude. Seriously. I don't remember it being this horrendous! Is this what money does to things? The internet wasn't this shitty in 1994.
Yes it was. Just in a different way. 56k modems that couldn't connect at full speeds over dirty copper lines, and a T1 cost $1500 a month.
It was shitty. Just different shitty.
Browsers are just going to have to start bundling ad blockers. Somebody disruptive will do it first, and then the others will follow, with apologies to content producers, on the basis that they have to do it to keep up.
