The Cost of JavaScript in 2019

Skimmable design → shorter time and smaller space for ads → less ad revenue.

I wish Reddit ran something like Youtube Premium, a paid ad-free experience with actually comfortable layout.

You can buy reddit premium so you no longer get ads. It's absolutely bullshit how much stuff they still track, though.

They lost me as a premium subscriber because they no longer offer a discounted annual subscription plan and instead expect me to pay $6/mo ($72/yr) for ad-free access to a site that is comprised of user-generated content. That's more than the subscription price of some actual news sites.

If something is going to be ad free, it had better also be tracking free.
