It seems many people think content worth enjoying is somehow created and delivered freely.

Mmmm... and what about non-targeted ads ?

I mean: GDPR didn't forbid money. Not even advertising. Only using personal informations without explicit consent... Please, don't be too ridiculous and stop watching FoxNews :-D

There's not even anything wrong with targeted ads!

Behavioural targeting is fine!*

Contextual targeting is fine!

*In many circumstances.

It always was.

In the 90s, the N.Y. Times was $1 in my city and the local paper was $0.30. That covered paper, distribution and ink.

The ads paid for it, and I think the ads were more effective. IMO online ads are mostly fraud and bullshit.
