Are they as annoying as this ridiculous RuPaul ad? Or the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ads? Man, this site is littered with performance choking ads.

This site is getting out of hand with their ads. I easily have to close out 10 ads every time I visit it. good grief.

Yeah, i know chris works his ass off on this site, but there is not a single other site on the internet i have run into as many issues. Running with an adblock is almost mandatory, which is unfortunate as i'd whitelist the site if it had unobtrusive ads.

I get the need for ads as they keep the sight free for all of us, so normally just click them off if I am not interested. These Amazon Rewards ads are a real pain and seem disingenuous in that when you click on the “close” button, it takes you to their web page. I try to keep most of the sneaks and liars out of my friend group and am dissappointed that this is allowed.

The last couple weeks the Amazon pop up was aggressive but I could still get to this site. Now when the site loads on my iPad in safari or chrome it replaces the site with an Amazon reward add. There is no back option the only option is to close it down.

You can usually go to history and go cak to before the ads started. You won't have to close down.
