The top of the article has a banner ad, there is a floating footer ad that refreshes every 20 seconds, as you scroll there are text ads, image ads, auto-playing video ads (one which floats to the top of the page once you scroll past it). Those ads. Edit to reply to your edit: pi-hole is an adblocker lol

I follow Kevin on Mastodon. He’s the real deal and is absolutely not interested in the clicks or outrage. He’s trying to make it accessible.

Remember cable TV? How it used to be good but then went to shit due to greed and you were disappointed?

And do you remember streaming TV? How it used to be good but then went to shit due to greed and you were disappointed?
