Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish? (Guardian)

23. "scroll past 10 screens of (slop) - just to get to one post"

Yes! Annoying to the point of ignoring.

Also - the sheer tonnage in ads in every screen you are on that pop up over and over again, to the point they overwhelm the content you want!

My having a couple apps up at the same time, the ads block the content. In every link I open I have to “x” a pop-up to see the content. Close it - up pops another one!

Worse (I think) is The New York Post, but even DU does this.

I once counted ads while watching sports one night: ads on player uniforms, players hats and helmets, ads by the scores around the venue, the time clock, the floors, playing fields, ice rinks, and even the arena name itself, the “Domino’s Sports Update,” (or some other corporation) break-ins, the XYZ Pregame show, the halftime show brought to you by some drink/sandwich company, the ABC post game show, etc., etc.

Three years ago - a new one. A touchdown in a College football game leading to the kick for an extra point. Up comes the goal post netting and emblazoned on the netting: “Allstate Insurance.”

Screwed then all!
