Adam RoachI guess Google went ahead and launched this despite the objections of pretty much everyone else in the web ecosystem.
kajer :notverified:@abr I love how the wording implies that one MUST consume ads.
I choose absolutely no ads.
@kajer Fair. I have nothing against ad-supported content, but I have a huge issue with ad networks that decide that ads must inherently be tied to tracking me around the web. Newspapers, radio, and TV served ads just fine without customizing content on a per-reader/listener/watcher basis. It's profoundly dumb to think that the web must do so.
@abr I do a lot of work to my browser experience to limit any ad exposure. I dont allow ad APIs to be engaged, I directly interact with CDN APIs to not be forced to use ad-injecting front-end players...
It's a battle every day.
