Well, IMO, this is the best model. PB it clearly states they run a cryptominer and if you want you can have an adblocker block that and they still allow you to search undisturbed their website. Now compare this with Forbes for example, who have adblocker detection which will not allow you to view the content you want and asks to whitelist them in your adblocker. Except that once you do that they will fill your page with not only their ads but also 3rd party websites ads, which was proved many times in the past were malware. So if there is any name and shame it should be done to Forbes / Bloomberg and the likes, not PB.
