Site sucks for mobile users because of ads

I get that the ads help fund the site but do they really need to go to the extreme of sketchy **** site quantity? The site used to be usable on my work phone with Opera but IT did an update and blocked everything except for basic Chrome which is a mess if you aren’t logged in with gold.

Have they ever tried to do a fund raiser to gain enough money to fund the site ad free or with a minimal set of sponsors? How many gold memberships do we need to gift to cut down on the ads?
