There are a few news sites that I refuse to visit because I get so frustrated by the performance on these sites. Not to mention auto-playing videos, broken back buttons, lazy loading that causes me to click the wrong element, and a myriad of other design flaws that seem almost ubiquitous on all major news publications' sites. It's funny to me that these could easily be the simplest of websites that are made incredibly convoluted.

If you're in the EU, NPR is forced to ask you if you want to accept tracking cookies. If you say no, they redirect you to a text-only version. Which seems incredibly spiteful, but actually works out wonderfully in my opinion since you can just read the news without all that cruft you mention.

It's almost like they need you to click on random shit to defraud advertisers.
