I keep catching it out of the corner of my eye and my peripheral vision keeps telling me it's the c-word in big red letters

Maybe Putin ordered the KGB to invade CNET?

Font design is incredibly suspicious and odd for 21st century

Ads don't bother me. I trained my mind to block them out. Adblockers are for people who haven't mastered their own ability to ignore what's in front of their face

It's not that the ads are hard to ignore. It's that they can contain malware and noticeably slow down page loading times even on a fast connection.

Yes, I remember that from years ago before I started using an adbloker. lol

There's the Mars one.

It's my belief that wealthy Martians have formed a cult based on CNET, and all of us have been unknowingly indoctrinated.

You're the one getting mad at a post parodying people who act superior over dumb shit. It's mocking those who act superior fir having adblocker. When really, it all just matters if you care or not.

Got busy and realized I was halfway through this post when I turned my phone back on..

The logo is astonishingly bad.

It's like CNET became a Soviet-era metalworking company.

I thought it was some Asian newspaper at first.
