Internet News Pages are Cluttered With Too Many Ads

Even with an Intel i5 processor news pages are increasingly a pain to use. There are so many ads and pop up, unwanted videos running as tag-alongs and so forth that it is actually difficult to read many news pages.

Click on a page and it moves up and down like the saccadic eye movements of a drunk lying in the gutter as content continues to be layered on it. Apparently the more ad content there is on each page the greater the revenue is through advertiser sales. It makes it challenging to read in some cases.

Then of course there are the interesting lead stories that have 15 items such as the top fifteen states in supporting foreign government and illegal immigrants that you can only view one item at a time on 15 different pages because they sell more ads that way. Instead of waiting for the page to load and scroll to the bottom on a page that is difficult to scroll because it is a moving target to get to the next page arrow with new junk appearing and the screen display automatically readjusting, I just wipe the page out and never get to page 2.


It becomes even sillier when trying to load certain sports news pages on a somewhat smart phone that would probably require a supercomputer with thousands of cores in gpu and cpu to run because of all of the ads and videos one must endure to find the answer to a simple inquiry such as when the next candidate's tournament in chess will be, exactly. Actually Yahoo sports is the most clean and easy to load of the pages that are the first option.

Some Want Scientific Proof of God

The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God ( a paraphrase). I suppose confirmation bias works for atheists in seeing no evidence. Jurors...
