This is why the web is horrible, especially on mobile devices. I really wanted to read about robots chatting in a new language they created while waiting for my coffee to brew this morning but no, we can’t have nice things on the Internet.
Did you see the independent.co.uk screenshot above has two close Xs overlaying each other in the bottom right.
Two.
I opened their article on my MacBook Air because again, I really wanted to read about the chatting robots but after scrolling past the intro graphic this…
I turned Ghostery off and it counted 61 trackers.
And I really wanna buy something from Zazzle now 🙄… When I see ads from companies this way, it puts a negative taste in my mouth. Their brands become revolting and I try avoid them from there on out.
It doesn’t surprise me that people just hang out on their Facebooks and their Pinterests, and their Twitters. At least those guys legitimately try to care about UI and content.
Independent.co.uk cares about their advertising.
