Ads, in whatever medium, are fundamentally bad UX. Not to mention utterly without value and a waste of precious human attention.
It is always breathtaking to consider how much has been built on the back of advertising, I guess because there is no better option.
But always remember that it is fundamentally bad UX: content providers forcing consumers to do something unpleasant, that they would rather not do, in exchange for the content.
Nobel Peace Prize to the person or organization who figures out the business model to take us beyond this absurd paradigm.

- hogrider 5y agoJust let me pay with cash for the damn thing you're selling me with ads currently.
- alanbernstein 5y agoI suppose it's the original "if you're not paying, you're the product". Ads can be an excellent UX for the actual users of the service - the advertisers.
