    Wait until everyone just does 'take over' ads of their layouts instead. Coded right into the layout templates to avoid ad blockers. Having the entire site an ad will be great because I just fucking love that when imdb etc. does it. Much better than a couple boxes containing ads in the sidebar.

    And people saying their was an Internet before ads are being ridiculous. There used to be more subscription sites for quality content and the free stuff was not up to the standards of most of today's content developers.

    Apple should have spearheaded a means to clean up the ad industry and block bad ads, rather than shut out advertising altogether. I agree that sites that sense ads blockers and don't participate in shady or intrusive ad practices have a right to block you or start subscription or micropayment options. How do you expect them to pay the staff to review the games and hardware, cars and tech you love to read about?

    • The entertainment and print journalism industries have learned there are always people willing to get your content for free, and happy to go without ifi_monk
    • free isn't available. Make ads/subs mandatory and the same thing will happen.i_monk
    • If I can't monitize via ads or similar, then I'd sure rather have only 10,000 paid users than a 100,000 free users who generate no income to support staff...ETM

    • The utter failure of newspaper paywalls says otherwise.i_monk
    • They failed because ad supporting was an option for competors. You're comparing the before and the after on equal grounds. How does that make sense to you?ETM
    • It's pretty clear you've never been in the content generation business in any capacity and only few the web as a selfish consumer who thinks people...ETM

    • Most people aren't in "the content generation business" and will happily go elsewhere/do without too, so have fun delivering your content and ads toi_monk
