If all ad-supported sites went down tomorrow, the Internet would still work fine and there would still be content. Just not as much.

- georgemcbay 15y agoConsidering that both Google and Bing are "ad-supported sites", the big problem for most people (including me) wouldn't be that there would be less content but that it would be too painful to find.
- kaybe 15y agoWell, search engines are singular sites, they could just ask for a monthly fee or some cents per search. That or we could find some way to host a search engine in a distributed way on private servers or even the clients. I'm quite sure a way would be found.
- greenyoda 15y agoLess content could actually turn out to be better. For example, many of the content farms and linkbait blogs would disappear. That could be a good thing.
