So I get ads are terrible, obviously. I run ad-blockers all the time. But people also get angry at paywalls. So that leaves me wondering, if not through ads or subscriptions, how is a news publisher supposed to sustain itself?

    Idk, for a while we paid for it with, like, mildly misogynistic razor ads, and that felt okay

      Hey, we’ve got social media and all that now. The memes and all the valuable info from whoever will surely take care of it.

      Right? Like I remember a day and age when the ads were not obtrusive and awful, I would happily go back to a middle ground with normal sidebar/in video ads.
