The most unpleasant website I've every used

Just the most unpleasant website I've every used  - literally the most unpleasant, the most difficult, the most problematic. I know it's about monetizing but you couldn't be more annoying if you were actually trying to annoy. I click on something and an ad gets in the way, I try to type and suddenly I am clicking on an ad, I close out an ad and another ad pops up, I try to scroll and nothing happens or it causes a different ad to get in the way. You are a great resource but I am going to do my best to never use you again. Please sell the database to someone - anyone else, I believe anyone could find a better way to make money off your work, than this 'annoy users as much as possible' model. I used to be proud that you guys came out of Ann Arbor and that tradition of a love of music that lived in A2. now I am embarrassed by how much you betray that.

Sorry the ads are such a nuisance to you Michael.

We've needed to move to a more aggressive ad model for many reasons. Detailed here if you're interested: https://allmedianetwork.helprace.com/i8-support-allmusic-and-go-ad-free

We also have a subscription version where users can support AllMusic and get a faster ad-free experience. https://www.allmusic.com/subscribe
