I browse in landscape mode on my mobile : on this website 75% of the screen is occupied by the top banner (25%) + sticky "recommended videos" banner (50%). Amazing how they managed to get me to quit their website so quickly.

News websites, especially local news, seem to have completely missed the meeting on how to build user friendly websites. They are almost universally full of obtrusive advertising, obtuse layouts, irrelevant links, and poorly handled media players. They are really in a league of their own for bad user experience.

They know the point. They don't care.

They only want money & will do so with your data.

The URL has put me off this website before I'd even opened it in a browser.

Same, no interest giving them any thing as little as a HTTP GET.
