It will be like cutting out the ads in a newspaper. Lots of holes, everywhere.

The difference from a physical newspaper is that on a computer we don't have to leave holes, we can replace them with beautiful artwork or our favorite cat pictures. That's still a hell of a lot better than ads.

I'm ok with ads in a newspaper. I can ignore them safely and blend them out. Many online ads nowaday blink or do other dark patterns to make ignoring them harder though. I hate that.
