Has Yahoo been dumping overlay ads on top of each yahoo news article ?

Today , yahoo news has been dumping AD overlays that "block " the news article before you can read it all unless you "click" on the ad! Has that been happening to YOU TOO ?

Frankly, if THIS is what they are going to do forward , I'm going to stay off their site .

    Yes, it's happening to me too and is incredibly annoying. Time to move on from Yahoo.

    Adblocker Pro does not work. Besides blocking the article it blocks you from commenting. Yahoo has become like the Hollywood magazines my grandmother used to read so if it continues, I simply stop coming here. No big loss and big gain for not wasting my time.
