The first 7 out of 10 items in my FB feed just now were promoted posts. I just searched for “bicycles” on my iPad. I don’t see any organic results without scrolling when I disable ad blocking. The writing is definitely worse with ads. Writers write in a specific format to allow ad breaks. Also, if you compare the quality and number of Emmy’s that ad supported TV gets to streaming/premium channels it’s much lower. I don’t watch TV with commercials. I very much live by the “I pay them money and they give me stuff” motto. I pay for content whenever possible to avoid ads including streaming services and a few podcasts.
