      Holy fuck you’re not kidding. I assumed when you said that it was going to be just shit all over the place. The ads weren’t super intrusive? It was easy to read? But when I got down to the bottom there was shit about a homeopathy treatment for neuropathy that has left scientists speechless.

      How the fuck was that on AP

          What a weird question. Do you really have to question whether people are using ad block or not when they discuss the ads they see when viewing a mobile website? I don’t get how you got to the point where you had to actually ask that question? If I’m seeing ads, obviously, I haven’t bothered with ad blocking on mobile because in the end I don’t really look at website’s very often on my phone.

          This may honestly be one of the single dumbest questions anybody’s ever asked me and I worked retail longer than I care to admit. This shit’s going to stick with me.

            It was easy to read?
