&quot;View them or leave&quot;, that&#x27;s the kind of attitude that&#x27;s very weird. &quot;View ads or the newspaper industry DIES!&quot; Very Clockwork Orange, eyes forcibly peeled open. Very antagonistic.<p>When I look at a physical newspaper, nobody is telling me either you look at this ad-filled page or you must not open any page. Nobody is telling me, you can&#x27;t cover ads with your hands or a book. You must look at ads in order to look at this magazine. If you don&#x27;t carefully read all of the ads in this magazine, you are not allowed to read this magazine.<p>It just so happens that with a computer I can more conveniently hide ads, but that&#x27;s somehow more wrong than covering them with my hand?<p>I also just find it fundamentally strange that by me viewing ads someone gets money. Why? Well, because the person who made the ad is hoping that I will buy something off them or entice others to buy something off them. This is also strange, I don&#x27;t want to buy anything or tell anyone else to buy anything. Why is me being indoctrinated by a third party the way that the website gets money? It&#x27;s a bizarre situation. This is a very strange world we have built. There&#x27;s gotta be a better economic model that doesn&#x27;t require guilting me into viewing ads.
