Dear news sites,
When I open one of your stories, I don't want to see an unrelated autoplay video, especially one labelled "made right now with AI!"
When I stop it, and scroll down, I don't want to see it pop up again.
I also don't want pop ups for other stories getting in the way while I'm trying to read this story.
And when I finally manage to make it to the story I wish to read, at the end of it you're asking for donations?

Obamacare is now 15 years old. That must be why Republicans are fucking it.
Thanksgiving's association with the Pilgrims only solidified around 1900, coinciding with a wave of immigration that alarmed Protestant leaders. The story they promoted emphasized Plymouth's settlers as America's true founders, subtly excluding Catholics, Jews and Indigenous peoples. https://theconversation.com/how-the-plymouth-pilgrims-took-over-thanksgiving-and-who-history-left-behind-267944
