This will hurt professional journalism. Print is gone. Journalists survive on ads - and the only ones that work are quite obtrusive. Removing these annoying ads and moving to standardized google ads will just tighten the journalist's budgets. This will help the fake news blog outlets spread like the cancer they are. Sad.

There are other ways to monetize without (intrusive) ads. Produce quality content and people will be happy to support it. If your entire business model only revolves around ad-driven revenue and it doesn't work any other way, then perhaps that business model simply offers nothing of value.
