I do not know what your setup is. But here on my machine I did not encounter this behaviour.

Safari 26 on macOS 26, Lockdown Enabled (limits javascript to make your system more secure)[1], and 1Blocker (to block ads and trackers)[2].

My setup is Safari on iPhone. Aka the majority of users

Leave it to HN to blame users for “not having the perfect ad blocking setup” instead of calling out trashy click baity websites for bad practices

It was not to blame, more to tell that there is a solution. Yes it is too bad those website exist. I agree with that completely. But it is not something that will stop until the root evil is destroyed, ads.
