Even worse, the sponsored native ad has the same text styling (bright orange title) as the rest of the actual content, so even I struggled to tell where the article continued. This ad actually goes against google policies.
Yep, confused me too! Doesn’t help that I skip over most social media call outs and ads. Way to confuse your reader. As a reader, I’m here to read your work, not expend mental energy on figuring out where your content is.
Adblocks to the rescue! Nextdns if you can’t root your Phone or have an iPhone. I haven’t seen an ad in close to a decade by now.
Turns out pandering to anti-capitalist sentiment can be profitable.
"oh, nice, Bill's going after the anti-marketing dollar, that's smart!"
