The new ads also don't disclose who the advertiser is or that they are even ads.

    I’m not gonna risk my computer by turning off my ad blocker, but I wonder if that article comes with exactly the kind of chumbox ads that they’re rightfully criticizing.

      There’s 9 ads between the chapters of that article and one that follows you on the side of the screen as you scroll

        If it has a link it can be blocked. Just block by content instead of by node path.
