Wherever I go, I often see the sentiment “This website has ads, so it’s trash” pop up in conversations. And honestly I don’t quite get why. 90% of the internet has always had ads, you just scroll past them and mind your business. At least they’re personalized now so you can pick a topic you like instead of diapers and miscellanous spammy trash as there once were.
My shows have ads
My videoes have ads
My video games have ads
My language learning app…ads
My podcasts…3 mins of ads
Not just banner ads like the old days but content covering ads, noisy ads, unskippable ads, 1 of 3 ads. It’s totally out of control.
The world is made just a tiny bit worse for every ad someone forces another person to see.
