Ironically the linked site doesn’t show content if you’re using an ad blocker.
Recently I’ve had sites block content just for rejecting cookies.
Quite the norm in Italy, even tho I think it's illegal
What adblocker are you using? ublock on Firefox does fine
Edit: I’m not using ublock origin. I forgot I was using my iPhone with AdGuard.
Allowing all scripts it works for me, blocking only third-party scripts it shows a popup ad, blocking scripts of the domain too and inline scripts it works and uses less cpu.
