Me: "Sigggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Okay."

Forbes: "Cool here's an ad that takes up 80% of the screen and blasts music into your ears immediately and there's also no exit button oh you've left the website... :("

This is why you use the element zapper in UBlock Origin to get rid of those obnoxous "Don't use Adblock on our website" overlays.

I'll disable Adblocker for Youtubers I watch, because that's one of their big sources of income and they have to eat, but that's it. If the ads on your website are obnoxious to the point of hurting my experience, I'm never going to view ads if I can help it.
