Ads also limit the impartiality of the content. If you read a page about some company or some technology, and then some ad service decides that that's a great trigger to place an ad for that company or technology on the very same page, even if it doesn't spoil the impartiality of the content, it gives the appearance of impartial content.
This is the same reason why Consumer Reports doesn't take paid advertising in their publications either.

- easong 13y agoI don't mean to be aggressive, but why are you replying to every comment in the thread with some sort of vague affirmative and a mention of their username? Your karma count/account age would suggest that you've been here long enough to know that it's not normal behavior, and I don't see similar comments in your history (deleted?). Additionally, you have a lot of submissions from repetitive domains and a low average karma score per submission. I've seen a lot of fake accounts on reddit trying to build karma do the same thing. Apologies if you're not a native English speaker or something, but it seems fishy.
- davidsmith8900 13y ago- Sorry about that easong. I never meant it to seem that way.
