I’m not convinced.
Not running ads is what you do when you care about user experience. If you start running ads it’s because you care more about money than user experience.
As long as there is robust competition the consumer’s preferences will be favored, because success comes at their discretion.
So I think it’s more like “wherever the consumer isn’t the customer there will be ads”.
- nox101 2y agoCompany A has no ads because they care about user experience Company B has ads. Company B makes more money and can therefore provide more features / more content. Company B ends up providing more of what users want.

- shiroiushi 2y agoUber won versus taxis because Uber provided a fraud-free experience, and the taxis were acting fraudulently. Uber would tell you how much a trip would cost, and let you pay for it through your phone (through your saved credit card); a taxi would drive in circles to run up the fare, perhaps even just turn off the taximeter altogether and make up a charge on the spot, and claim their credit-card reader is broken.
