Ads are the problem, because they turn you from the customer into the product. When the site starts tuning itself to produce more clicks for the advertisers, rather than for a better user experience, that is a problem.
- ed209 14y agoIt's not as clear cut as that. Advertisers expect viewers > viewers expect a good product Why would a company, whose revenue depends on lots of users, build a crappy product that loses them those users and hence the advertising money? Ads are not the problem. You can still build a good product based on advertising revenue.
