And then they jumped at the first ad-free alternative. Which at first, was cable. After that ship sunk under the weight of ad-crap the Internet was the new thing.
For a while, people managed with ad-blockers until they became too easy to use and too popular so now...
Netflix had a brief moment where there were no ads. Now they advertise (their own content, but still).
So from what I gather, people have spent decades running away from advertisement.
- JMTQp8lwXL 7y agoIt's the natural evolution. Everyone jumps on a great product, then it becomes heavily monetized and the user experience declines, and people run to the next firm's solution that has less ads, then once they have the eyeballs, they monetize it, it's cyclical.
