Now everything has ads and is SEOed to hell. And everyone used Ad Blockers, so the authors still get nothing.
- mystraline 1y agoIve seen freemium services now, that used to be 'free but ad infested', and 'pay but no ads' - go to 'pay but you still get ads'. I have no reason to think otherwise if Xanadu did the micropayments scam AND ads. And I would expect some online script would necessitate downloading and paying for ads to decrypt the content to enforce paying to get advertised at.
