Again, not cool.

Oh, and I have reported it.

you do realize that this stuff occurs daily and whether I post it or someone else does no one is going to stop it. This is the reality of such content which the publishing company is well aware of and accepts as the cost of doing business. That cost is transferred to those who pay for it as is so since I pay for it there's no issue. If anything this might get CR more subscribers due to the free advertising.

I did at one point write freelance for a very large tech site. They didn't have a paywall and those who viewed my articles using an adblocker may cost the site a tiny amount of revenue. This encourages them to use else invasive ads so people don't feel the need to block them as much.


There's more to life than getting upset over something that's part of doing business
