Probably for the best. Id like an internet free of ads. Oh, I have that already thanks to ad-blocking technology. This is more user hostile crap, get it off my internet!
- luckylion 7y agoOtoh: ads do serve a purpose. Lots of ads equals low quality content in my experience. The more aggressive the ads, the worse the content. It's like websites are self-reporting their spamminess.
- asdff 7y agoSome places get so strapped for cash that their content isn't even content, but thinly veiled low effort ad copy. I hardly trust online review articles anymore because they mostly focus on one new product by itself vs. in the context of a field of existing alternatives and are rarely critical these days.
- luckylion 7y agoYeah, it's less and less "use ads to support the content creation", it's "write content to fill the void between the ads". And yes, review articles are a similar problem. And another indicator: if the site has "stars" in the serps, i.e. provides "aggregate rating" as microdata, it's probably shit.
