Discussed where, if I may ask?

They are god-awful FWIW.

There are certain forums where, let's say, I can't be logged in, and it is a miserable experience I can't think of any equal in my online browsing.

Is the site owner trying to drive non-frequent visitors away? Because the Anyclip junk is a great way to do so.

Here's a great (e.g., terrible) example.

Not only do they ruin the reading experience, they also take over any audio you have going as well.

The ads provide for an even worse experience when in landscape mode on smartphones.

Not everyone who reads FT is an FT member. My guess is that nowadays a lot of the people who get referred to FT posts by FTers get such links while on their mobile devices; and then those non-members activate the links for viewing on their mobile devices. After such an unwelcome ad-related initial experience with FT, are such non-members more likely to join FT or otherwise lurk so as to perhaps help at another time or in another way?

If you are logged in, you should not see them.

Anyone have a screen shot of what it looks like while logged in?
