Literally the only legible text among the articles is on another ad.

I don't know what kind of ship you're running here GS, but this is not cool. It doesn't go away, I can't close or hide it, and it shouldn't obscure the content I want to see in the first place.

At this point it isn't so much as if you're displaying ads to bring in money for the content, but that you're making content to bring readers in for the ads. There is no way I can believe that the people in charge of this didn't see this problem coming. Is it going to be pulled? I doubt it. Here's another one:

Somebody thought this wasn't an intrusive ad.

This is for the benefit of the readers, right? I'm not being cynical here, this is legitimately terrible. It's so inexcusable that I almost want a response from the staff to hear the excuse.

EDIT: I think the ad was pulled. If so, good move and I was wrong in doubting it'd be pulled.

Good that they pulled the ad.

In my rage i already deleted the bookmark but i'l restore it for now..

It's quite ridiculous that it got trough in the first place maybe the paycheck was so fat that they did not have time to look at the ad.

These kind of missteps drive people away.
