Again: if people need to use adblockers, go for it. You can also support via patreon, to ensure you never ever see an advert or sponsor and help fund a website you read regularly if you're able to do so.
Adverts for logged-out users are staying, they will not be removed, I need the funding. Plain and simple. And eventually they will be for all non-Patreon supporters. The adverts can be tweaked, and ridiculous adverts can be stopped if properly reported. I did say clearly in the OP I would be tweaking stuff.
Edit: I've been trying to restrict the size of those between the articles without luck, adsense kept overwriting my max-size and height css. So I've swapped them for a different type, which is much smaller. Should make it much nicer overall!

I think removing the ones on the bottom of the page would make it feel a lot less ad infested, feels a bit to much with them.
The only ad that was a bit annoying is the one attached to the bottom of your screen. Yeah, it can be minimized, but it takes up permanent screen real estate.

It may be that adsense tries to force ads to be the same size as the content for the same reason I don't like it.

It's still about 50 percent screen space can occupied by ads on mobile, at least that's what I'm seeing.

Firefox user and idiot here, how does one do this?
Would love to do that for Humble and Fanatical in particular. I always change humble to split most of the money between GOL and the charity, though have occasionally forgotten to use the affiliate links to do so.

First, one bookmarks the affiliate link from the Support us page.
Then, in bookmarks -> manage bookmarks
search for the just-created bookmark, set keyword of said bookmark to, for example, gog. From then on, if you enter gog in the address bar, it'll go to the affiliate link. Take care that if you type gog.com it'll go to the plain website without affiliate code.

Anyway, once enabled, it should certainly aid in me in becoming Mr. Muscles, like a proper nerd. Oh yeah!

Although, it's fashion choices are questionable at best.
(Thought I'd share, because I found that particular ad quite amusing.)

I visited the web today from a work computer (macOS and Chrome browser), not being logged in and without any adblockers, etc and in the places where the adverts would be, only one would show, and in the other spaces only a blank space leaving a weird spacing between the articles.
Not sure if a bug, but wanted to flag :)

The extra muscles will be useful for it.
You might bruteforce your way into them, but then how do you get back out?
PS: I'm totally sticking a "kick me sign" on your back, between your shoulders when you nerds become Mr. Muscles, you won't be able to reach it to get it off
