  1. Back when mobile phones and tablets were becoming mainstream everyone started updating their Web sites to be more and more mobile friendly, eliminating all images over 20k, taking out all background images, making everything run as smoothly as possible to compensate for the extremely limited bandwidth, etc. But now everyone has 4G LTE Internet, a lot of data on their plans and even better WiFi speeds. But the trend never went back to sites with heavy graphic usage. Instead every site is the same layout of single article images and text... and a crap ton of advertisements. I've seen sites with so many advertisements that the page will keep loading on my phone for over 4 minutes. I'll get ads that hover over comics completely blocking 1/4 of the panel if the phone is horizontal. Or an ad embedded into an image at the bottom like some sort of graphical subtitle. There will be ads that hijack the entire screen forcing you to click an X somewhere to keep reading. Or how about that annoying ad that scrolls up over shit while you scroll down? I've seen sites that have all that combined and the entire article is broken into 8 pages so fresh ads can load each page. How about YouTube ads that last 30 seconds and is unskippable even tho the video you are trying to watch is only 15 seconds long? Imagine if cable was that bad? Lol. Yeah.. cable has less advertising than mobile phone Internet now. Mobile phone browsing went from one of the most convenient, fastest ways to get content that you want to becoming a burden of navigating thru ads. I read that 60% of all links shared on Facebook are never clicked on. From my experience, it's because of the fucking ads. I won't even click on links on my phone from Facebook anymore. All the ads would destroy my battery and my patience. It feels like everyone will eventually become ADHD within my lifetime at this rate. Click a link, try reading something, ad pops up and blocks it, hit back to leave the site and move on to the next link. Is it just me or are mobile advertisements going a bit too far? I'm going to get some ad block plug-ins for my phone browser now.
