Yeah, they’ve done this on this one particular site that I like to read, one old (hilarious) celebrity blogger who made a new home on Pajiba. Pajiba is pure shit. I dunno exactly what they’re doing but the ads they serve up are largely local rather than third party - and they’re served up so aggressively the site is all but unreadable on my phone. So ads are crazy in-your-face despite having adblock on the phone itself and a Pi-Hole! Just to keep reading the guy I like I had to set up a shortcut that loads it in reader view to bypass all the bullshit and fuck knows how long that will last before they somehow figure out how to block reader view.

I saw the domain before you edited it lol. I went to the site and have zero ads on mobile, although I did have an empty placeholder in one spot where the ads would have been.
Make sure the following domains are blocked on your pihole:
html-load.cc bbcdn.githack.com rawcdn.githack.com cdn.statically.io revcontent.com a.pub.network
Then, make sure you have this line as an entry on your mobile adblocker
/ad-shield/e/*$script,third-partyIf there is a specific url you’d like me to look at, feel free to message me.

I’ve heard that before but I haven’t seen an ad in years. But I’m probably not the norm. Between userscripts, ad-removing frontends like invidious and choosing services like Lemmy over the competition, you can pretty safely remove ads from most platforms. Of course, Jellyfin helps 😂
