Yeah, though supposedly SEO could actually penalize articles for something like this, the SEO requirements keep changing but I bet there is a balancing act between keeping SEO happy and keeping up your ad impressions.

Yup. I get that they need to monetize the site so they can keep it open, but it seems like when you’re writing for an audience of pirates, those guys are all gonna have ad blockers anyway.

I’m not about to drop them since nobody else does what they do, but that shit is painful.
