I have the cleanest website on Earth, yet Google sends traffic to sites like this one. I come to the conclusion that Google rewards sites running Google Ads. It makes sense because it makes Google more money. User experience can go to /dev/null 🙂 and good luck reading any of this. LOL.
The mobile version of Variety.com displays a bloated page that constantly asks for data collection, has popup ads, and beg to install an app on top of the page. The entire pageis hidden, resulting in a poor design, but surprisingly, nobody seems to care. Unfortunately, Google tends to reward such sites by sending them more traffic than those sites that offer a clean user experience.

@nixCraft From what I can see of the cookie banner, they don't even respect GDPR ("by continuing to navigate on this website, you give consent" is not freely given consent so it isn't valid, hence any personal data processed is unlawful)
