I am actually with Apple on this one, and really think Apple is doing the right thing. No, we have started on wrong footing about content should be free* thanks to Napsterization of web, we discriminate digital goods and physical goods. Now, with ads, we get junk websites or good content websites turn into junk as soon as monetization starts. We have to some how find a way to make people pay for the content they consume, advertising can stay for those who can tolerate and those of us, who cannot - I am tired of Car Ads on my kids youtube channel, I will pay. The web will be OK, the real hell is the media like The Verge, serving mega-pages with marginal content and click-baity.. ratty tatty articles.

you didn't read the article? The ads by iAd (= Apple) are unblockable ( like facebook ads). They just do the "ad blocker" to piss of Google and third parties... ( as usual)

  iAd's and not used on the web at all, they are only for in app ads.

    Which is entirely the point. To make money, companies are going to have to move away from the open web to closed app environments. Like the article says.

If they would block ads in native mobile apps and web equally, it would seem fair, but they pick and choose.

The article is saying that content producers will monetize by moving to Facebook.
