The platform era is ending. Rather than build new Twitters and Facebooks, we can create a stuff-posting system that works better for everybody. (www.theverge.com)

What if we didn't even have ads on the internet?

Who would pay for stuff? Ads are not inherently bad, it's misuse is. I wouldn't mind a website with one or two ads per page. I hate these sites with an ad after each paragraph. I use Firefox with Ublock origin, Privacy badger and use Next DNS in my router because of Ad excesses. Ultimately the greed of website publishers is their own demise.
