But HNers keep telling me that advertising is dead business model.

  Intrusive advertising is a dead business model. Advertising in iOS apps is non-intrusive by design. Distracting, certainly, but you will not have videos that pop over content and play automatically while you are in the middle of reading the article.

    With the combination of the built in content blocking support that iOS has and the new Web View Controller that respects content blockers, ads are basically dead for web pages on iOS. Apps on the other hand are another story.

    "Advertising in iOS apps is non-intrusive by design." Not sure what apps you're using, but in many ad-supported apps I use, the ads are always visible or takeover the full screen between screens - both very intrusive. There's one game my kids tried and they could barely go a minute without accidentally hitting an ad with their palm while tapping with fingers.
