- m-p-3 6y agoThat, or send your search data somewhere else.
- pjmlp 6y agoThere is, not willing to pay for content.
- jka 6y agoCan you think of any content (software, for example) that is produced without advertising?
- pjmlp 6y agoNo, but that doesn't mean content producers have other sources of income, specially when those consuming it aren't willing to pay them.
- jka 6y agoAgreed; so figuring out how to sustainably meet (and ideally exceed) people's basic needs is important to safeguard content production. Meanwhile, I don't think consumer expectation of free service is likely to change, and expect there's a market for ad-free reimplementations of existing services.
- aabbcc1241 6y agoI've seen some ad-free alternative, but they usually have much less budget on promoting themselves, so harder to reach the critical mass (for network effect)
- aabbcc1241 6y agoFor example our content on HN (although a portion of them are advertisement, not that that hard sales.)
- anoncake 6y agoYou pay for the content anyway. The cost of a product contains the cost of advertising.

- qbaqbaqba 6y agoIn case of search results? Then Google should pay websites for displaying their content.
- armitron 6y agoAgreed, uBlock origin has become a necessity since the web has turned to toxic sludge. But Google has gotten so unbelievably bad that even uBlock origin can't protect against the onslaught of SEO spam and downright crappy results. I'm wasting hours every week, sorting through Google's atrocious output.
- yummypaint 6y agoGive duckduck go a try. If you arent having luck with a particular query you can always type "g! " at the beginning to route it to google. Very low barrier to entry, i prefer it now that im mostly adjusted.
