You get the internet you deserve

There's a local newspaper that still exists. Their website has so many ads and trackers, at least 100 per article, that there's a nearly zero chance of successful rendering without an ad blocker. The site demands money but paying won't turn off their ads and trackers. In fact, you can make the site stop demanding money with an ad blocker because it's an outsourced test running client-side. I could be a nice guy and give them a subscription but their articles aren't any better than Tweets and bots. I just saw their science columnist describe a new energy harvesting system using the mystery unit of "megawatts per day." It was disappointing even after typos in the article's sub-header set expectations.
