I don’t know about Spectrum, but that news page was pretty ”extractive”. When trying to copy/paste from iPhone, it was all but inevitable to click an ad. When I tried to highlight a word, the whole page would highlight. When I tried to click off to deselect, it would register as a click to an external advertisers page.

I’d like to apply Hanlon’s razor, but it feels too coincidental that someone making money from this hasn’t fixed it.
