I’m commenting to provide some feedback on your website. The content itself is fantastic, but the user experience is challenging due to the sheer volume of ads. They significantly distract from the articles and, honestly, it makes me want to leave the site. I believe creators should be compensated for their efforts, but I wanted to let you know that the current ad layout is a barrier to engagement.
