[META] Intrusive Macaroni Ad

Submitted by Wolverheel on November 18th, 2019 at 10:30 AM

For the past couple days every time I open a new page on the blog with my phone I’m treated to this:

This wouldn’t be a big problem, but A) The little ‘X’ button has a pretty much nonexistent zone of effectiveness and I’m always directed to the ad, which then reappears the next time I load a new page and B) it’s too soon after the Dave Brandon Michigan Stadium noodle for this.

I have no clue if Seth and Co. are able to disable specific advertisers with whatever system they use, but if they can this would be a good one to do so with because it’s making the site borderline unreadable for me on mobile.

I started using the Brave Browser on Mobile.

No more ads 

This site is impossible to use without an adblocker 

Brian should hire someone who can actually make this shit work....

I'm sure the mgoboard would foot the bill

I do find it ironic that Brian's main gripe for years has been excessive advertising, while having a site that is one of the worst offenders.
