I can’t read that crap.

You have scroll past so many freaken links to other sites, pictures and videos which render the site useless, as my ADHD just wants to be to the point and read the article.

Further, I’ve had enough of other BS site, who presume they have permission to fill my entire screen with forced videos.

I just want to read the flippin article.

I really have serious apprehensions when I click on articles anymore.

David Duke should sue Spike Lee for tarnishing his image.

Zactly. It’s ridiculous.

Many sites I refuse to visit

Where they were once interesting and still interesting, they have made so much noise on their sites, they are no longer interesting...
