I want to support things that are useful. So I whitelist Fandom wiki in my ad blocker... Good God it's like an infected IE browser from the early 2000s with 8 toolbars.

How do people use the Internet like this? Why isn't there just a single banner ad at the top, like how Altavista used to look?

Fandom isn't a good thing that is useful. It's internet pollution for money, it's just another SEO slop site wit slightly more useful content. Most of the wikis with actual content moved away years ago, of course Fandom keeps presenting their last versions to try and squeeze some more traffic out of Google.

it’s disgusting how many have done it. Just 60% of the screen is ads even on mobile.
