That website is an absolute eye cancer on mobile. Actual reading content is curtailed to a third of the screen. Its defaulted legitimate interest cookies include a bunch of predatory firms including Facebook (and I’m in the EU).
In one hand these publishers have just cause in complaining about companies like Google and Apple stealing their content, but they really are not helping themselves either. Their website are completely user unfriendly.
I've seen worse, there's at least not much layout shift there.
People will complain about paywalls and they will complain about ads. The money needs to come from somewhere. For ad-supported sites, increased ad blocker use means higher saturation of ads for everyone else.
It's always very nice to see a nonprofit journalism outlet with no ads, but donor funding does not scale up to a large newsroom.
