The first thing I did the other day was emailing Nilay Patel, editor in chief at The Verge, to share my thoughts on the subject. That’s before I posted on my site. As for “ripping off the band aid”, again, that’s nonsense. I’m not saying they should drop ads. They should figure out how much a user is worth and then price their membership accordingly. The vast, vast majority won’t switch anyway because that’s the reality of today’s web. As for your first point, I’d not have noticed that because I run multiple adblockers everywhere and I am THRILLED that I can now support in other ways.
