Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

That website isn't one to judge. I opened it up and there's huge ad overlay immediately lol.

That's how I pay server costs :)

Feel free to use ad block, doesn't hurt my feelings one bit. AdBlock Plus is still good. I'm shocked to meet a programmer who doesn't already block ads TBH!
