SoylentNews is people

Good Lord, have you seen /. lately?

Not to take potshots at the "other site" but damn.

I had mostly stopped checking it because the comment signal-to-noise ratio had become so bad. But now they're running these giant floating ads that cover half the comment-text so you can't actually read them anyway.

    Opened the front page, and saw nothing. I scrolled down, about 1/2 down the page, there is a little green box, labeled "sponsored content" with a green "download" button below and to the right of it.

    That's it!

    uBlock origin and RequestPolicy seem to have /. adverts well in hand.
