- brucethemoose2 3y agoIts just minor Google banner ads for me and a Taboola bar at the very bottom. That's about as good as it gets these days, even on sites like APNews.
- hbarka 3y agoYes, the Taboola hot mess is also on CNN. How did this awful clickbait platform become so ubiquitous even on sites where you expect a level of content scrutiny.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoWritten online journalism has been on the decline for like a decade because of video, social media, the ad/spam arms race, SEO exploitation and such. They have to use Taboola to pay the bills, they have no other choice.
- hbarka 3y agoAny personal favorites for news and current events?
