Ads are annoying yes, but I can understand why they're there. And for ones that you just scroll by, it's nbd, really.

It's the ones that don't scroll past and just cover a chunk of screen til you manually close them that should never be allowed in any context, ever, at all. I don't care if the advertiser is paying me in free hourly blowjobs, forcing me to make an extra click is unforgivable in any circumstance. Especially on mobile pages, where they tend to stack up, or decide that your "close" click is actually a "take me to your offer, please" click, if it even counts at all. Or I guess I mean tap.
