    Oh wow that looks pretty bad. I had forgotten about these widgets as I blocked them ages ago, as I did with the LLM trash recently, so my view starts with "Interesting posts for you". I suspect the ads will not get through uMatrix + uBlock Origin; if they do and are not manually blockable then I might just stop browsing SO entirely. Commented Dec 10, 2025 at 13:45

    I assume that "first interaction" is scrolling down. Commented Dec 10, 2025 at 22:15

    I'm sure that the upper management of SE — the ones who paid $1.8e9, and are now trying to figure out how to recoup that investment — know full well that they are likely to bully away the people who used to contribute the most. It is also abundantly clear that they do not care. Commented Dec 15, 2025 at 18:01
