I understand that ads are needed to fund but most sites are so ad filled they are not readable. Even HuffPost and DU.. DU to a lesser extent, have so many ads it's hard to find the news. The local online newspaper starts off with a covering ad that is crazy and the little movie things follow down the page. I have been on FB almost from the start and love reading online stuff but the ads are becoming overwhelming and some are gross. I'm not ready to quit reading online but it's getting close. Good thing I'm old. LOL
