Here is the experience when clicking a link on mobile:
* Page loads, immediately when I start scrolling and reading a popup trying to get tracking consent
* If I am lucky, there is a "necessary only". When unlucky I need to click "manage options" and first see how to reject all tracking
* There is a sticky banner on top/bottom taking 20-30% of my screen upselling me a subscription or asking me to install their app. Upon pressing the tiny X in the corner it takes 1-2 seconds to close or multiple presses as I am either missing the x or because there is a network roundtrip
* I scroll down a screen and get a popup overlay asking me to signup for their service or newsleter, again messing with the x to close
* video or other flashy adds in the content keep bugging me
This is btw. usually all before I even established if the content is what I was looking for, or is at any way useful to me (often it is not).
If you use AI or Kagi summarizr, you get ad-free, well-formatted content without any annoyance.
