So it blocks ads making the content producer money, then puts in some ads of its own along with trackers. This is good because?

- cato_the_elder 4y ago> This is good because? Two reasons. One is that ads probably aren't worth archiving, and removing the bloat makes the service run smoother (and it's easier to block the archive.today ads, than it is to block all those popups, random redirects, etc.). The other is that "content producers" aren't necessarily good guys. Depriving all those clickbait manufacturers of clicks when you are hate-reading them is probably a good things.
