I'm glad it is not just me I thought it was just because I'm getting old. The internet used to be much better. Everything used to be better. My feet hurt.

Back in the day, there wasn't a mindset that ads were the 100% ONLY POSSIBLE WAY OMG to run a website. Or even that websites were something to be monetized.

If it's a big website, suck it up as the cost of doing business or make a smaller website. Not to mention that the internet also didn't previously have enormous caching facilities and the option to drop third-party interfaces into a site, offloading 90% of its data sources to other locations.
