When Apple allowed ad blocking, many journalist and publishers compared it to stealing. I wouldn't go that far for the personal user, but as a business with the intent of generating profit, this doesn't feel right. A little too steal-y. It is essentially replacing other's ads with TLDR's.

@jfals82 actually, we are replacing other people's ads with.... their own content! so, the consumer (not us!) takes taboola or outbrain off of Business Insider and replaces it with quality content -- which includes Business Insider!

@jfals82 oh yeah, we make $0 from this.... so, if you can figure out a way for us to make money with out ads I'm all ears :-)

@jason @jfals82 except they no longer make anything on those pageviews so you're just losing them more money.

@jason Excellent hack. Probably not a business. And the moral point wouldn't keep me up at night so good luck.

@jason @jfals82 Sponsored content that passes a human curation - not spammy but actually interesting and something people might want to read. What Outbrain wants to be but isn't (as far as I can tell).
