Money does this to everything.
Radio used to be cool, now it's mostly ads.
Circulating pamphlets was once a potent political tool, now they come sandwiched between ads in a newspaper that nobody reads.
Evaluate a randomly chosen NFT-referent for artistic merit and see how it stack up to a randomly chosen pre-nft art.
I'm still optimistic about the web though. It's more configurable than the other media. We may yet find a way to wall off the advertising cancer and make some space for cool stuff to survive.
- tux 4y agoThere are many online radio stations without ads, and you can already wall off advertising with something like PiHole or extensions like uBlockO. I never hear or see ads anymore :)
- __MatrixMan__ 4y agoIf you're looking at a blog that might've been presented with ads, but you're not seeing those ads, well that's nice. I also rarely see those ads. But how do you know whether the blog itself is an ad? That's the more insidious problem.
- wilsonnb3 4y agoThere are also many very good publicly funded radio stations out there. Shout out to WNRN in central Virginia.
