It seems like nearly every regional newspaper website uses Reach. I swear that nobody who actually works at these places actually uses their own sites.

• Usually loaded with an insane number of "partners" on the cookie banner (I've seen some well into the thousands)
• You can't read the content because the page keeps jumping about as it's loading ads in
• Ads overlay the content with a close button so small that even a tardigrade would get pissed off over it
• Any scroll action on your phone that isn't perfectly straight swipes you to the next article
• Because your device has to load 26TB of ads, it takes forever to go back to the previous article
• There's an ad between each sentence.
