You’ve found a good web article
that you want to read. It could be from an e-mail group that you subscribe to;
or you could be searching for advice. Then the site loads; and it takes ages.
That’s because the website is full of advertising. Firstly, you see the text
that you want to read. But then there’s margins either side; and this turns out
to be banners for another site that you’ve no interest in. Then the cookies
kick in and try to find content relevant to your interests. A video kicks in
and starts to play in the background; slowing down your computer even further.
Finally; when you scroll down; there’s pop-ups and pictures in between the
article you want to read; slowing down your computer even more and it takes
ages to load more advertising, and it takes ages to load each line. All of
which tries to convince you to sign in and pay for premium content to make the
advertising go away. But I’d rather not use these sites at all.
