It's been a pretty solid few weeks on here. Meanwhile, I've been gone for a few weeks at the same time. Neat coincidence, huh?

Anyway, my computer turned into a potato, so instead I had to use VGChartz on my phone. Typically I would check VGChartz a couple of times a day while working/researching/whatever, and my phone made me feel more hesitant to post. I still however wanted to view posts and whatnot.

I'm pretty happy to be able to visit this site without being bombarded with the amount of disgusting scam popup ads that are extremely difficult to get out of. Instead of just coming back after a short hiatus and ranting about it, I thought I'd rather make another mediocre post pointing out the issue on mobile browsers without being an ass about it. 

I know a lot of people will say to use adblock, but the problem is I did use it. I used several and none of them made a difference. With the majority of internet browsing now being done on mobile devices, I think it'd be a good idea to see if this was simply an individual issue or something experienced by others. If we want to make this website better, we should at least make it accessible without forced ads that are difficult to escape

(example for those wondering. Take this, but show a white popup on VGChartz that says something along the lines of "Congratulations! YOU won a free iphone(1)!" with clicking anything resulting in you being sent to the spinning wheel. You can try clicking the back arrow, but it just resends the 'popup' ad sends you back there. 

That's pretty much it for me. Hope y'all had a decent start to the year I didn't lmao and it'll be neat to see if anyone else has had this problem on their phones.
