It’s been said many times, but if the business model is advertising then you’re the product.. not the quality journalism or content. They’ll focus on generating content to increase engagement instead of perfecting what you think it is they are supposed to deliver.

Perhaps it is time for an advertising model to die out as the default.

Ok, then don’t patronize sites supported by ads.

This is why I’m more than happy when sites say “adblocker detected, please disable or leave”.

I will not render your ads. I’d be happy to put that in the first http request to your site. If that means no site for me, then quite honestly 90% of my browsing is a waste of time anyway.
