That&#x27;s how for-profit world works. It&#x27;s not about providing value to customer - it&#x27;s to provide as little value as you can get away with wile still getting paid. If a company can sabotage their customer&#x27;s experience and make him pay more at the same time (whether directly or via ads), the company will pick that option.<p>This is the incentive gradient that&#x27;s present everywhere, especially on the Internet - that&#x27;s why I personally won&#x27;t mind if ad blocking will kill <i>all</i> ad-supported websites. I&#x27;ll call it good riddance.
