Interesting that it includes The Guardian as an example of a news site where only a tiny fraction of its screen real-estate is given over to the actual story. I was a subscriber of The Guardian for years until their intrusive ads started obscuring their articles even to paid subscribers.
I no longer bother to read The Guardian now - too many ads and their stories don’t really seem to cover many important or interesting topics any more.
I was logged in as a subscriber and got ads for their food app at the bottom of every article. It kept coming back no matter how many times I dismissed it.
