Whats up with wowhead with so many ads and popups

The site used to be good. Now its filled with spyware.

WoWHead has been Adware for years now.
UBlock blocks 14 addons from rendering immediately on loading the site lol.

having an adblocker is basically mandatory nowadays, I’d even recommend getting NoScript to stop sites from automatically running scripts on your computer without your permission.

Yeah, I don’t know people can even use the internet without one nowadays. Everything has ads and popups.

Ublock Origin or whatever it’s called is what I’ve been using for years for websites.

But I pay for Wowhead. Or used to. Until they went way more the sensationalism route with articles. I’ve got a few moree months. I’m not renewing.

Yeah it’s pretty sad a website like that is held at such a high regard from Blizzard. But most people have ad blockers and never see this stuff.
