Reader Mode in browsers is increasingly useful for this kind of crap.<p>I&#x27;ll add that the flipside is that publushers need revenues. I&#x27;m aware micropayments are making another go of it (David Brin is publishing an article shortly which I reviewed in draft). My thought is that that&#x27;s actually the weong way to go and that what we need is superbundling, including possibly at the government level (an income-indexed content tax). Some asskicking in browser and web space to too shake out the cruft.
