Fark has Zillow ads posting as Headlines, floating ads, and ads that shift the page from right under my finger as I try to use the navigation. Fark needs to make money however it can, but it's something for a Fark headline to be pointing out some other site's ads issues.

Linux_Yes: caljar: Amazon makes $31 Billion a year on ads.  They really no longer care about selling goods, they care about the ads because that business is much simpler, and lucrative.

Sit at home stock owners approve
