- bambax 11y agoGreat read, thanks! I agree with everything in this paper (but that may be confirmation bias at work...) So adblocking is actually going to save the world by starving all the evil news-producing entities. However, the fact that most people won't pay for news, signals that news is less addictive than one could think (since people do pay for drugs - they're willing to pay any price for a fix).
