Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

About a year or two ago I'd open up an article blocked by ad blocker and I'd try tweaking my settings a little, thinking if it were easy, I'd use a bit of effort to get to the writing I wanted to read.
I did that for a while with about a 50/50 chance that one setting or just clicking a few things and I could get to the copy.
Now I don't really care ..... there's a million things to read on the internet ... if I see a site and it even throws up a challenge, an extra click or ad blocker has affected it ... I don't even bother, just close it, forget it and move on.
Or if you don't have an ad blocker running and the site expects you to try to read through a little 1 inch peephole in between the ads. I just write the site off entirely.
It also makes you wonder .... what monster thought that was a good design.
Also equally disturbing is ... that there are actual people out there who put up with all this and read the content through that little peep hole. I know several of my older less tech savvy friends who put up with all that. I also know a few younger tech ignorant friends who just don't care.

I've been known to add them to my hosts file to make sure they get ignored.
