It sounds like this court is saying:

A. Abstract and not patentable: "Instead of charging your audience for your service, allow others to advertise to them via your service and charge the advertisers."

B. Patentable and not abstract: "Instead of charging website users for the use of your website, allow others to display advertisements on your website and charge the advertisers."

There is something about patents that seems to melt the brains of certain judges.

A can apply to anything, like car wash or cinema. B is limited to websites.

Not that this patent makes sense even then, but B is much more limited.
