The people who run this site deserve all that ad money.

I actually prefer the new ads over the previous "secretly change external link targets to some strange forwarder page that makes it impossible to see the full URL before clicking the link" ad technique on mobile. I can simply scroll over the new ads.

Sometimes I see ads for German christian fundamentalists and click them. Then fundamentalists have to pay ad money to DU.
