I hate these ads as much as anyone else, but realistically these are one of the main competitors we're relying on to keep the web open and away from Google and Facebook right?
- manuelabeledo 6y agoWhile competition is good, do we really want this kind of competition? Google ads became popular precisely because they were light and non invasive. These quite aggressively take a chunk of the screen real estate, and sometimes are very disruptive, e.g. when they put them between articles and comments.

- ev1 6y agoThey are arguably worse, more violating than both of those, and exclusively serve malware or fraud/unwanted porn/gore. At least I get actual brands on Google or Facebook, Taboola has absolutely nothing other than literal spam.
