The Fucking ad covers the content I literally could not get back into his comic strip because of the Fucking unremoveable ad covering the content. Guess time for that ad blocker.

    Idk. Sure, use an ad blocker, but the medium is also content - if the comic author wants their site to be so full of ads that their content is unreadable then tbh I’m probably going to give up reading. Ads like that don’t just happen by accident - ad placement is just as much an artistic decision as the colour palette they use

      Got ad blocker now can read the comics. Maybe it was a sign for me to finally get one. I use to not be bothered by them plus figure how artists gets funds outside of Patron but goddamm never was they that bad.

      People publish their comics into platforms nowadays, and if the author uses an ad-blocker, they may not even know how the comics appear in a naive browser.

      But, continuing there or not, the OP is well advised to install a blocker, just like everyone else. Both for information security reasons (many of those ads are nasty for your computer) as for personal health reasons (many of those ads are nasty for your brain). All of those being attacks that nobody ever consented to (as they are forced into you without a chance for you to consent).

      And rest assured, all of that is only getting to become worse on the near future.
