Give me a break, I am not complaining about advertising period. Ars has always had advertising and it used to be fine. But over time the ads have gotten more and more intrusive. There's more and more auto play ads with sound, and ads that take over part of the screen, etc. The lack of subscriptions are probably a symptom of the editorial quality going down. You can say there's no evidence of it, but when lots of people complain about it that is evidence of it. I was a long time Ars reader and the b.s. finally got too thick that I have stopped going to the site regularly in the last year. It used to be a site for intelligent, balanced articles about tech. Now it's got shills like DrPizza who basically just reprint whatever Microsoft's PR department emails him.
