I was trying to read some I/O news on some feckless Google news fan-blog.

By the time I got to the middle of the article: three massive banner ads (top, right, and bottom) were taking up more content than the text, there was an auto-playing video ad floating in the bottom right corner (overlapping most of one of the banner ads), and a "dynamic" ad in the middle of the text randomly started expanding/shrinking and glitching out making it impossible to actually read anything.

And this is one of the better experiences reading modern blog-alikes. Things are almost at sketchy porn-site levels.

Sad and pathetic...
