Why can’t we have a text only newspaper with text only ads? Advertisement in modern world is so insanely rotten to the core, it is disgusting. These people have made the web unbearable. I really think there is a place for text only ads on a sites such as text.npr.org, even though they’re not as “eye catching”. Where is the innovation in advertisement? It’s the same bullshit banners, eye catching gifs and insanely long loading times with custom fonts and what not. Yes, it is “eye catching” but I am also convinced that there is a place for text only ads (such as on Google.com). Visual bandwidth of the human brain is obviously much higher than auditory (language and reading) pathways, but I might just click a text only ad if it’s relevant and “vetted” - I.e. no shady companies, no scams, etc. May be we could see a growth in independent journalism with text only sites and ads: low startup costs, low bandwidth and server infrastructure and high click rates on their ads. Just thinking about the advertisement industry, the people that work in it and the kind of dark patterns they employ makes me infuriated. You know, I don’t want to be friends with these kind of professionals.
