It's merely a nuisance that I've conditioned myself to ignore and if it becomes too invasive I close the page. Usually when whatever browser I'm using begins to exhibit so much latency
due to script overhead it's time to go.
If you are curious about the demand on your device if it's a PC bring up task manager just before you open the page and watch the memory and CPU usage..

That is why ad blockers exist. I don't even remember last time I had an ad in any website or youtube.
I am currently using "Ublock origin" in my firefox navigator and works perfectly, both in PC and phone.
