I think people would have (possibly) reacted a little less criticially to this news if the original Mozilla blog post simply got straight to the point i.e.
- Mozilla needs to raise money because it's a non-profit.
- We're going to place ads on the "directory tiles" page.
Questions the Mozilla blog post should have answered, but never did:
- Will these ads only ever appear once?
- Will these ads re-appear if you clear your cache or cookies?
- Can this feature be disabled or bypassed?
- What analytics or tracking will the ads use (if any)?
I understand that Mozilla needs to diversify its sources of funding. I just wish the Mozilla blog post was written in a plain, straightforward manner. There's far too much padding and "corporate-speak".
Phrases such as "publisher transformation", experiences that are "richer and more meaningful", promises to "transform the user’s content experience", and to provide "inherent value to our users" just sound over-inflated and meaningless.
