    What I find funny is that if these people just did old fashioned ad banners at the top, bottom or sides of the page, I would leave ad blocker switched off.

      Old fashioned ads are much less lucrative than highly personalized ads. It’s why so many sites require you to create an account to access their content. The end goal of the platform is to extract heaps of advertising data from you.
