    this is a very simple situation. ad blocking will kill trusted news sources. yes, there are amazing, trained journalists out there doing good work, helping to keep things transparent, and they should expect a paycheque like everyone else.

    ask yourself, are you going to be fine with following unvetted bloggers and twitter vampires 100% of the time for your local and world news?

    you may not care or be all whatevs, but as funding disappears, we are headed into a world of regurgitated freebie chicken nuggets as our primary news sources.

    i am not cool with this at all, but that's just me.

    • The fact that NYT now offers native ads as though they were articles from their 'highly distinguished journalists' sort of refutes that point.monNom
    • we could go on and on but my point stands, NYT isn't the only example and you may be missing the point re transparency, anywayprophetone
    • fact is, chicken nuggets is the future. people can shrug 'n split hairs about it now but when it's at 100% they should be cool about the new realityprophetone
    • and btw, native advertising is a recent, desperate reaction to make up for the losses in traditional. one day, vetted content will simply not be free at all.prophetone
