This ad, too. No X to click to close the ad. No point in clicking on an article if there’s a non-trivial likelihood that an ill-designed ad will prevent me from reading.

FYI, this ad on your post makes it unreadable. I clicked the link multiple times and this ad popped up covering the entire screen with the “X” in the corner doing nothing. I respect that ads pay the bills, but ads like this make readers like me less willing to click in the first instance.

Literally listening right now. It’s so, so good.
