I admire steps taken to improve the privacy of ad-supported media ecosystems, so this effort by WaPo should be applauded on it's own. Their results, taken along with NYT's switch back to content-only ads in the EU [1] might help spread the word that all the creepy ad-tech isn't even necessary or beneficial! That said, I'd like to make a simple request of media outlets... Please build a rate plan which provides all of the benefits of subscription, adds the expected profit from advertising, and then let me buy it to experience your content ad- and tracking-free. Please! [1] https://digiday.com/media/gumgumtest-new-york-times-gdpr-cut-off-ad-exchanges-europe-ad-revenue/ https://digiday.com/media/gumgumtest-new-york-times-gdpr-cut...
