The irony that this page is covered in ads and clickbait content is hilarious
- ghaff 3y agoEssentially the main problem is that a lot of people want to try (even if they mostly fail) to monetize everything--and I assume a lot of people here aren't innocent of that.

- ryanlitalien 3y ago> As the web declines, we pause to talk about the death of criticism and what happens when someone rips off your work. So if I paste the transcript here on HN, would that prove their point? As currently, I'm not in a position to listen to an hour-long podcast?

- kensey 3y agoWith my browser full-screened and set at 133% zoom for the sake of my eyes, literally 100% of the screen real estate is either ad content (the largest section of which appears to be trying to load a broken image or video, so it's just a huge black rectangle with a tiny missing-image icon in the center) or the navbar, header banner and section header. I can't see any of the actual article without scrolling down.
