Ad blockers are part of the problem
I&#x27;ve been singing that song for a while... Overzealous adblocking may cost us dearly when it succeeds to cut off all revenue streams for quality content except subscriptions.<p>I know HN takes a pretty critical view of &quot;mainstream media&quot;, but I believe a world in which NYT&#x2F;Wired&#x2F;WSJ and similar have been successfully run out of business will be a very different one. They are among the last to have the resources to devote teams to investigate issues. There&#x27;s nobody capable of replacing them.<p>I with there were an Adblocker that takes this responsibility serious, blocking maybe video and ads over content, but not static images and text ads.<p>For the commentator saying that &quot;most consumers don&#x27;t care how carefully ads have been selected. It still is an ad and we don&#x27;t like any ads :)&quot; I can only answer that problem started when you called yourself a &quot;consumer&quot;. We need more citizen, less consumers.
