Yeah, right? He should've just said "13 reasons why I will never use StackOverflow again."

I made the mistake of clicking one of those "13 reason ..." links the other day. Each of the thirteen reasons was split into 4 parts, so I had to navigate through 52 pages to read the entire article. I quit when I realized what they'd done (5th section).

I'm not going to waste my time ... especially when your site is ad-laden and slow. The funny part is that this is probably a consequence of Adwords not allowing asynchronous ad updates on a page. They needed me to navigate through 52 pages to increase their impression counts.

Very sad ... and now back to my regularly scheduled uBlock.

better yet "I Tried to delete my StackOverFlow account. You won't believe what happened next"
You'll never believe number 10!
Software Developers HATE This!
