Can't wait 'til adblockers start blocking sponsored content.
- Terr_ 11y agoNew plan: Block any article that mentions a company or trademark. :p
- scholia 11y agoSo that eliminates almost all the financial stories, all the hardware and software reviews, and all the sports coverage, just for starters ;-)
- DavidHm 11y agoIf you think about it, this is not a gigantic loss, if you are interested in insights and not news.
- scholia 11y agoWhere do you think insights come from? Are they generated spontaneously out of thin air in the absence of facts?
- DavidHm 11y agoOf course insights are generated by facts. But what I am interested in is the insights, not necessary the facts that led to them being created (as long as I trust the author who converted facts into insights). So I am happy to read an article about the evolution of (random example) people's savings and investing behaviour. I don't necessarily need name dropping of the fintech unicorns who are involved with making it happen.
- scholia 11y agoThis is like wanting a history of movies that doesn't mention any movies. You're welcome to try it (1). That's a good way to prove yourself wrong ;-) (1) I've done quite a bit of it myself.
- chrisdevereux 11y agoIn all seriousness, a browser extension that flags sponsored content would be great.
