Great choice of website:

Independent journalism is made possible by advertising.

That is the polar opposite of the truth.

So you think they should just make no money because you're mildly inconvenienced?

[–] hglman@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No. If you make money from ads your clients are the adversers and your readers are an asset you seek to capitalize. That is in opposition to journalistic integrity.

And the servers run from exposure?

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

no, they don't. you (the reader) have to pay for them - if you want to be the client, that is. otherwise you are the goods that is being sold.
