OK, let's reformulate that: would people be opposed to just scrapping or to the illegal republishing and adding ads?
Another similar trick: "If someone will block ads and then murder the publicist and burn his house, most people would find that it should be illegal".
- fakedang 6y agoAdvertising isn't some zero-sum game that suddenly makes you lose because you happened to see it. Republishing is - the original publisher loses out on the value of his publication because that means either reduced ad revenue or reduced subscription. I'm guilty myself of reading republished articles, but it is a loss for the publisher.
