I think the damage is there even if you don't see the ads. News outlets and organizations that used to be magazine publishers focus on lowest common denominator stories they know will get the highest engagement. That usually means sexy anger-bait. Sure we had that in the print times, but we had a lot more "slow" content that you could sit with and contemplate over a day, week or month.
