I agree that ads serve their purpose. Their proceeds allow websites to exist and motive entrepreneurs to create them in the first place.

My point is indeed that people go to grocery stores to buy food, not to spend money. Doesn't mean cashiers aren't justified.

The desperation about monetising ads usually makes them crappy website creators. They would just fill pages with low quality articles propped up by SEO. I prefer the sources that don't earn money on advertising for quality of content.
