I hate click bait and wish this column would just be a column, instead of a pop-up ad nightmare if you want to see the next thing.

FWIW, Ad Block Plus says it is blocking 12 ads and/or graphics and Ghostery says it is blocking 22 trackers; 16 advertising, 3 site analytics, 2 social media and 1 comments.

I’m using Slim Jet as a browser. Based on Chrome.

I was all set to skip the click-bait nonsense when I spotted this light gray, almost invisible link. I can't believe they had the courtesy to include it. I miss the old days when a PRINT icon gave you a single page.

I solved that problem, guaranteed.
If the bait is more than two (2) separate screens each with three lines of text or one (1) image, I exit immediately, after about 3 seconds.

Anyone who actually spends money advertising that way may as well burn the cash.
