   Too many sites are now crammed with adverts like this it’s revolting. This one is PC Gamer. This is why people use adblockers when it just takes the piss.

     @gamingonlinux it's a complete dumpster fire. It's as if the publishers are forcing you to use their mobile app so they can acquire more of your data....

     @killyourfm @gamingonlinux are the mobile apps actually any better? I nope out of such publications instead of doing so much more work to try to get at whatever content they clearly don't value either.

     @Tekchip @gamingonlinux I don't honestly know if they're an improvement, but I want to believe they are.

     (NY Times app is the ONLY newsy app I use, but that's because I subscribe; totally worth the $3/month)

     But I still prefer RSS for consuming web content. That's getting more and more challenging.
