Give us a break, nobody has done more to ruin journalism that Google manipulating ad auctions (bernake), rewarding click bait (doubleclick), and forcing small papers serving local markets to compete for search placement with massive companies like the NYT.

Google helping with “Adblock” is a farce considering research has shown a key reason people use as blockers is to protect their privacy…from Google.

Imma be honest I don't care about privacy as much as I care about having to actively go out of my way to close an ad.

Yes, that’s absolutely the primary driver, but the #2 reason for adoption is privacy and security concerns. Google still doesn’t understand this, hence the farce that is “Privacy Sandbox” which is utterly delusional.
