Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I usually get it on my phone, never have on my PC. What I do is I go to tab view, close it, then reload VG.

I seriously wonder why some of you guys still don't use AdBlock! Just use that shit and get over it!

Because the site needs £££ to keep running.

Then it should treat it's customers with a minimal respect when it comes to ads intrusion.

yeah this site has all sorts of suspicious activity going on with its ads... guess that is what happens when a site whores itself out to questionable sources.

It actually makes its money from:

The way I see it is that as long as you are posting comments you are still doing them a favour by considering them over their competitors.
