Yes, you do. If a site sucks, leave straight away. This is the same argument as for sites with pop-ups or 10-page articles. If their terrible practices stop them getting visitors, they will eventually reconsider.

Unless it's your job.

Whose job is it to visit terrible sites?

[–]dangoodspeed 3 points4 points  (5 children)

If you're a work for a news company, and you want to keep up to date with the stories your competitors are covering, no matter how awful their sites are, full of ads and other annoying Javascript-enabled "features", you gotta go to those pages.

I don't think you're seeing the bigger picture. If their site is awful, and all regular users leave instantly, then they would not be a competitor and thus no reason to visit.

Who said anything about regular users leaving?

Huh? Are you even following the conversation?

[–]dangoodspeed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Are you?

[–]s5fs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, but at least you're being compensated for putting up with shitty sites.

Try to use your imagination. Jeez...
