When the pain of watching ads becomes greater then the pain of setting up a way to block ads.

- dazc 5y agoWe have a group of local newspaper sites in the UK which cover just about every area and they have clearly adopted a business model of squeezing every last drop of ad revenue they can before the inevitable happens. There is virtually no actual news on these sites anymore unless it is click bait that elicits a lot of comment. I'm beginning to think that google are doing the same.

I've legit seen people that aren't tech savvy use DuckDuckGo, which for me personally was quite surprising. Even my father (58y) switched to DDG without me even noticing it!
