> Ban online advertising?
Would this even change anything? I don't think "profitable" is the right word here. Outrage gets attention, and people want that for many reasons, it just happens to align with the ad business model. I'm not even sure it's the most significant factor though.
- amelius 7y agoYes, but what if you had to pay for your content, instead of having ads pay for it? Would you still consume the same outrage-laden content? Wouldn't the outrage turn against the publishers of that content? An internet with a different monetization scheme could be a better internet.
