I've commented on this earlier as well (and so have a lot of HN users) . The problem isn't ads (at least for me). It's the pervasive surveillance and tracking that FB et al use. Good riddance if another player changes the rules.
- kergonath 5y agoAds are a problem as well, just not quite as bad as tracking. They are still useable as an attack vector, an incentive for websites to get less and less accessible, and just a general nuisance. When most news websites are more ads than content, there is a systemic problem.
