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.

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.
