That audience is some huge percentage of the internet userbase, because some huge percentage of people are "clueless and naive." So people who want to just make money off a widely read website would do well to do what works. Just like how in the mobile gaming space irritating pay-to-play/in-app-purchase driven "games" are the money makers, and people who make games in order to make a lot of money should probably make a game like that.

Personally, I don't need the karma of annoying the customers, regardless of how much it may seem to work in the short term. I mean, you might as well be Zynga if you're going to do that. No company survives in the long term by annoying and/or abusing their customers.

- Turing_Machine 13y agoI know it doesn't work with me. Also, whether it "works" or not is completely orthogonal to whether it is ethical. Reading: it matters.
