idk, i think 'tomshardware.com' needs a reality check. there's like 100 disgusting taboola and google ads on their own website that look identical to these awful microsoft ads. its hard to take a rant about trashy ads seriously coming from a page that is littered with them.

i tried turning off my adblocker and yeahhhh the ads-to-content ratio is a bit out of control https://i.imgur.com/Dre5HJw.jpeg

Worth noticing.. the site also still works fine with ad block enabled and there was no nag screen or paywall around it.

Every time I see the unfiltered web, it is a glimpse into how the 'other side' must live. It is surreal to imagine how anyone accepts this as 'normal' but somehow they manage to survive.

Unfortunately about the same ratio on that imgur link as well.
