Not anymore. There's very low demand / price for run-of-site dispñay ads.

Then let's increase the demand by diminishing the ROI of the current ad model. Something that can be done, for example, by using an ad blocker and never ever turning it off.

Are you saying that if WaPo started selling only native ads nobody would buy them? I'm skeptical of that prediction.
