Wow, the language, "hold their content hostage". I hate ads probably more than most[1], but still, if Forbes doesn't want to give up their articles without fair compensation, that's their prerogative. They're not taking hostages.

- lostgame 11y agoUh...'fair compensation' is not installing malware. I don't think that's ever fair.
- jordigh 11y agoI didn't say it was. I thought that was implied when I said I hated ads. But the language of holding your own writings "hostage" because you don't want to give them up without some kind of compensation is just absurd. I wish Forbes just was honest and went full paywall. I wish everyone did this.
