I don’t buy this since journalism has been ad supported for a long time.
Ars Technical in particular has been around for a long time and always as funded.
There’s something different now that is maybe compounded by only being ads.
I think the friction is between cost structures from a different revenue time and just constantly using short term tactics to hold onto declining revenue.
So the issue isn’t as revenue per se, but the bad business models associated with ads.
