I don't think it would be too much. Why would it? I'd like to see those ad-laden pages dropped from HN also. As well as sites with paywalls. There are plenty of other pages on the web that can be featured instead.
- rodionos 10y agoMaybe a simple tagging system, like AD for AD-blocked sites, and PW for paywalls. Tags should be community assigned as well so that there is no central authority involved.
- morgante 10y agoGenuine question: do you think all journalism should be done for free? I can somewhat an understand an opposition to advertising or paywalls. Opposing both is unconscionable.
- criddell 10y agoI have no problem with advertising but I don't want to be tracked. So often these are talked about as a single entity but they really aren't, or at least don't have to be.
- zem 10y agoyou could argue that you support either or both, but draw the line at free publicity for paid journalism
- phaemon 10y agoFor free? I'm not sure those gossip-mongering petty scribblers would do anything for free. But you have me wrong on paywalls: I'd fully support them going paywalled. In fact, I fully support them going off the Web onto their own proprietary network (like the Compuserve and AOL of old) and charging thousands (if not millions) of $CURRENCY a year for access. That would be great.
