I stopped reading the Argus online (mainly for Albion-related stuff) a couple of years ago, simply because of the endless pop-up ads all over the page, and as soon as you 'deleted' one ad, another immediately appeared. Hence the article or report I was trying to read was repeatedly obscured or 'moved' to make space for another ad or video.
Ironic - online media relies on advertising revenue, but the volume of ads is probably driving potential or former customers away, so their ads will reach a diminishing audience. Capitalism and the free-market destroying itself!
For the same reason, I'm on Facebook much less these days - endless annoying adverts and 'recommended short reels' (usually inane TikTok videos featuring talentless attention-seeking morons) cluttering up my 'feed'. Oh, plus Mark Zuckerberg is an odious ****.
