    You can ban it. Its not my problem how they pay. Nobody asked them to take over the internet and turn ever pixel into an ad. Ban ads, these sites die and we get back the real internet.

        No, you wouldn’t. But also not a terrible idea. We don’t need 90% of the content online. We need most of it scrubbed.
