It’s painful going to a new site, only to be greeted by huge hard-to-dismiss popups telling you to subscribe / disable your ad blocker / enter your email / etc, then a cookie dialog you have to parse and carefully operate in order to not get OneTrusted, then the whole page may refresh and take you back to the top because of these shenanigans. Oh and does this site have multiple video players attacking you from the corners? These days I do feel a twinge of adrenaline as I gird myself to load a new site, so I’ll prefer to stay on the ones I know.
