Use https://boingboing.net/ascii for browsing, or just use the forums. I only ever visit the main page these days when the post here is missing content.
No, they don’t and it depresses me that we’ve got to this point with the wildly held belief that the net is unviable without the unsustainable ad model infesting everything. Cory goes into this in some detail here…
If you truly want a better mobile browsing experience then seriously think about using an ad blocker.
However, there is balance that has to be kept with ads & formatting. I’m sure the type of ads displayed in the mobile sections are quite profitable but they really just make the website suck.
ads shouldn’t do that. Please email badad@boingboing.net with whatever data you have (screenshot, url, whatever), and we’ll pass them on to our ad partner to deal with.
We don’t allow ads that take over the display or autoplay.
While we’re bitching, I’m annoyed that the mobile BBS app doesn’t show responses to posts as a thread the way the desktop view does. To see if someone’s already said what I want to say I have to switch to desktop view.
