From Dan Rua's LinkedIn:

>The power of the internet to inform, entertain and liberate mankind is at a crossroads. The future of ad-supported content is in peril, and with it, free access for citizens to critical news, education, discourse and resources the world over. The shorthand name for this looming catastrophe is "adblocking"

It's like a pimp claiming the human race is going to stop reproducing and die out because people don't want to pay for their prostitutes



Ads are a plague that drive content creators toward ever increasing shock value just so that they can get clicks. Quality be damned, views are all that matter.

I would say this is more damaging.
