This is an excellent analysis and write-up on ad bidding and obnoxious web design.

If phrases like "viewport suffocation," "unacceptable interaction cost, " and talk about UX heuristics in the context of why the F we are all made to close four pop-ups and pop-unders before even getting to access a website* excites you: This article is for you!

> "It is working perfectly for the people who built it this way. The question is whether it is working for you."

*This is why I like to say that ad-blockers are no longer optional.
