I think the solution to this problem is sponsorships. If there were a network that connected sponsors to websites it would be easy for a site to find a few good sponsors and just mention them in posts bypassing the ad-blockers and getting readers attention. It works in podcasting, why can't it work on blogs?
- mrkurt 17y agoBecause we want writers to have as little knowledge of ad campaigns as possible. We cover relatively negative news about the vast majority of companies that advertise on Ars. Breaking that firewall leads to bad things. Often very bad things. It's hard enough when companies try and bully us by restricting access since they're not really happy with our coverage. At least then we're not implicitly encouraging authors to mind their tongues. :)
