Agreed, but sadly some times the ad is more informative and interesting than the article.

Found this out.....

"Cornflakes were invented to stop people masturbating. It was believed that the bland taste of the cornflakes wouldn’t invoke peoples passion. Dr John Harvey Kellogg invented the cereal when he was superintendent at Battle Creek Sanatorium. Dr Kellogg was a stanch Seventh-Day Adventist and a firm believer that sexual activity was a blame for the disorders he was treating at the time."

Dr John Harvey Kellogg

"Part of John Kellogg's methods to stop his patients masturbating was to serve them bland food. He then went on create the Sanitas Food Company to develop and market food products. There they created their most famous cereal Cornflakes, but at the time they were marketed as Granos.

The Cereal was their greatest hit, even sought after by those not wanting to stop their masturbation.
A spilt formed in the Kellogg family when Johns brother Will wanted to add sugar to increase sales. John Kellogg saw this as a perversion to his bland Anti-Masturbatory creation and wanted nothing got to do with it. Will Kellogg believed his brother was missing out on a big opportunity and in 1906 founded the Battle Creek Toasted Cornflake company that we all now know as the Kellogg's Company. So the next time you tuck into a bowl of Frosties spare a thought for John Kellogg who is probably turning in his grave."

Nothing like tugging - off to bowl of corn Flakes

Precursor to the new app

Very much so.
Even when I don't actually click the ad, it seems any buttons even CLOSE to the ad are unusable. I have to scroll up to get what i want to click "far enough" away from the ad.

Agreed, but sadly some times the ad is more informative and interesting than the article.
See the previous post ......found it interesting

Not only more ads ... seems like on almost every web page that has ads, the ads change after a few seconds or minutes and are of different sizes, which in turn causes things on the page to jump up or down, thus making it more likely you'll hit an ad.

Found on TOS that Greg had issues with ads & slow software responce. After trying to resolve the problems, had an IT look into, was told that CHROME is causing the performance problems and suggested Firefox.

I don’t see any of them but I have noticed that every time I hit refresh it said I using ad blocking software. It’s reason No2 as to why I don’t have any premium subscriptions anymore. You shouldn’t have to use ad blocker’s on a pay site.
