>You shouldn't feel bad for the advertisers, but you should be worried about the content producers you love who provide you free content based on advertisements. You're getting paid with advertising dollars for posting on hacker news? Surprise: you (and all the other posters on hacker news) are the content producers I love. We've never been paid for this nonsense, and I doubt we ever will be. Won't stop us posting though. I'm really not that worried if buzzfeed and medium go under.
