This is actually what bothered me the most about the article. If we all install add blockers, content producers can't make money.

- BizarroLand 5y agoI disagree. The shift would be towards content producers offering tiers of service and content, for instance a free tier to draw people in and a paid service with perks & more content. A few companies do this already. There could also be a change in the advertising model, for instance, online newspapers could sell and host ads on their own servers based on the news content of the article instead of by targeting users with tracking cookies. If you're reading an article about a chef you may be interested in cookware, after all.
- basscomm 5y agoThere are other ways to make money producing content besides advertisements
- xboxnolifes 5y agoI would be more supporting of turning off my ad-block if the average blog or news post didn't have 70% of the screen be ads, with 2 ad popups, a cookie banner, an auto-playing video, and a redirect to another ad page on first click.
