I get that ads pay for a free internet. But that doesn't mean that 60% of my screen needs to be malware to read a local news article.

Until advertisers act in good faith, I block as much as possible.

Or those scummy click bait ads disguised as related articles? They make my blood boil with how they prey on the vulnerable.

That's all Google discover is on my phone... Ai generated articles that are just click bait.

Google is so bad for this, plus the fact that they were the ones who started rewarding clickbait articles.

In my mind though, MSN will never be dethroned from having the shittiest content.
