Do you want to see 80% of existing content creators online to die and the other 20% to keep the lights on through paygates?
Because that's what we're going to get if advertising dies.
Do you have a better business model? People have been seeking a better business model for content for the last two decades. It's not quite so easy as just saying "evolve! innovate damn you!"
- natrius 11y agoAdvertising is an immoral business model in the age of constant connectivity and pervasive data collection. The winners are those who do the best job of getting you to come back over and over, and the best way to do that is to addict you. Once you're hooked, they make money by selling changes in your behavior to the highest bidder. Today's advertising industry is all about addiction and coercion. Celebrate its death.

YES, emphatically so and I will happily help build the coffins. They cannot die soon enough, we have massive over-coverage and not nearly enough darwinism when it comes to news websites, which is what causes clickbait headlines and shoddy quality. I'm hoping for more around 95% death toll but that's just me.
