Yes the full screen ones are really irritating.

Thank you. Where can I find out more about that please? I didn't know it was an intentional thing as there never used to be so many full screen ads just lots of other ads.

A little respect can come from us all. I don't have any issues, maybe it's because I'm using Firefox as browser in combination with an adblocker. Try things for yourself before start complaining!

I use Opera browser with ad block enabled and the only ad action I see on the internet is the sites who block browsing completely with an ad block enabled.  Generally I find another site to read the article in that case if possible.  

Sometimes I use Vivaldi which somehow blocks the disable your ad block but I prefer Opera.

To me, a "solution" for sites I enjoy like this, some cooking blogs and youtube channels was to navigate them in 2 ways.
One: when I actually want to use the site, I use the blockers. There are ones for pc and for cellphones, all bases covered. This way I can do what I want to do without too much issues.
Two: when I have free time (doing ptojects, watching something else, just listening to music) I leave these sites/channels on without blockers. Sometimes I click randomly on them by hand, sometimes I use autoclickers to help. This way I can still help these sites  but not be bothered.

Setting this all up the first time might be a bit of a hassle, but after that everything flows.

This have worked for me for several years now.
