If by "liquidity" you meant diarrhea, I would have totally agreed! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10047706 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10047706 It is a lack of imagination and logically false to conclude that the only alternative to ads is "annoying" management of subscriptions. But we love get rich quick schemes and that's what the advertising "business model" enables: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10049494 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10049494. Net neutrality has nothing to do with much less rely on so-called "free" ad-supported sites. Net neutrality is not about free access, but equal access and equal cost for the same volume of data transmission regardless of source. Besides, that ads make the web free is a lie: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8585237 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8585237 Advertising diminished editorial freedom and replaces the readers position as customer, completely changing who the free market's "invisible hand" serves.
