Right, so how do we fix it? I'm wondering if uBlacklist has a place here (a tool to block domains from search results) -- it would be interesting to see if we could all come together and contribute to a database of SEO farm / junk websites to improve search results.

- raisedbyninjas 3y agoDoesn't this just assume that ad domains are some scarce resource? Ada can be served from a GUID domain just as effectively.
- tentacleuno 3y agoIt does not -- it follows the same concept as an adblock list, just being used for a different purpose. As an example, EasyList includes a lot of GUID domains[0].

- hotnfresh 3y agoDestroy spyvertising ads by making the business model illegal, so don't-care-where-my-ad-is-hosted ad networks die. Non-spying ads on sites that naturally draw lots of real eyeballs will still be a thing, which is fine. Actually-free sites, open source, and open protocols, would all see more interest and development in such a world, filling in most of the gaps people worry about from the death of shitty-ads.
