8muses runs on a free, ad-supported model, and the crawl shows that plainly: nine ad slots on the landing page alone. That's a lot of visual noise before you even reach a gallery, though it stops short of anything predatory like forced redirects.
The tracker count backs up the ad load — 20 third-party domains contacted, three of them known ad or tracking hosts. That's consistent with standard ad-network plumbing for a comics site rather than anything malicious, but it does mean more scripts running than a cleaner competitor would allow.
On the positive side, there's no popunder on first click, no off-site redirect, no notification nag, and the site is usable on a phone screen. It's not flagged in malware feeds either. The friction here is ad density, not shady behavior.
