So i follow a link, supposedly about a book, and i see a wall of text trying to sell me something with no information what that something is.
That reminds me of this:
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
It is checking the referrer value and only displaying it to people from reddit, HN, etc. -- because when traffic spikes due to those communities, it can be expensive.
Given the choice between this and advertisements, I much prefer this.
