I agree with the op.
And I've tried ad blockers, a few different ones. They work for a while but when they no longer work it backfires to where the ads are even a bigger **** show. They're ok when they work. But no telling when they expire. Then you get all the ads the blocker blocked "while it worked" and then some. I can't stand the ads but since I deleted the backfired ad blocker it has toned down a little.... But not enough.
Not a single person comes here for the ads, I guarantee that. And as obnoxious as they can be and pop up right in the middle of reading a post or in making a post to where they interfere, is uncalled for
