Maybe with nothing? There isn't some god-given requirement for there to be all these reviews about 3D cards. If readers refuse to receive ads and refuse to pay, then the site will go out of business and the content will go away. That's honestly fine - if people won't pay in time or by viewing ads, the content is simply not valuable enough to enough people for it to exist.
Less content is not the end of the world. Probably some hobbyist will spend his own time and money to publish it in some form anyway. Or Guru3D will find some other way to survive? They've added a donation link - maybe people will be happy to pay after all.

That argument means all content is valued only by the numbers of ads viewed. By that logic Facebook is the best content. And they don't have to change by the sheer volume of people that visit it. Competition becomes even more unlikely because nobody wants to invest in a business that needs to millions of viewers to be profitable. > Less content is not the end of the world. Nor is it necessarily a good thing. Fewer options will just empower the organizations that happened to exist in the heyday of advertising. Converging power more and more while saying "it's a good thing, the market will right itself" is naive.
- RUG3Y 11y agoThis is correct. I would be happy with the web I was using in 1995, to be honest. Most of the non-corporate content was produced by people who did so simply for the chance to talk about their passion and have an audience. I could care less if Sally can make a living off of her blog or not.
