And yet, they still have ads. It’s not clear what I’m paying for. They aren’t just annoying, they are a clear violation of basic journalism—you don’t publish things that will scare the advertisers away, which is almost all news.

(I would also add that I don't seem to get ads from The Economist on the mobile app.) There are no-ad magazines out there but it's pretty uncommon and the subscriptions are relatively expensive to cover the lack of advertising revenue.
