This site is shady as hell. You try to decline marketing in their pop-up and it hides maybe a 100 providers and expects you to click each one individually.

This shady site is an established business created in 1949.[1]

a site can be annoying or shady regardless of who it's from. i was personally very turned off by the heavy-handed popup and resorted to reading a recently archived version of the link.
So are all the other shady websites.
All "shady sites" happen to belong to business created in 1949?

That's quite the coincidence.

popup? what's this? 1994? who still browses without an adblocker?
