Just thought I'd document my experience going onto this site:

* I load the page, everything looks normal

* suddenly a massive video advert appears at the top of the screen, taking up half the screen and shifting all the content down

* another video advert appears at the bottom of the screen, stealing another 10% of the screen

* I start scrolling: the top advert is sticky and covers up the article headline. I can now see nothing apart from a part of a reindeer's head

* I scroll some more

* Chrome pops up a box telling me that the website wants to know my location

* I scroll some more and encounter yet another inline advert. My screen is now almost entirely adverts

* I scroll some more and the inline advert becomes a mini-player in the bottom-right of the screen

* There are now 4 separate adverts on my screen, all videos

* I give up and leave the page
