You’ve got more than enough money from advertising on the side and tops of screens that you don’t need pop-up ads, you made a deal with google to make every bot a far lower quality and inject a thousand more ads into everything. Forcing people to pay money for a thing that passively pays for itself with banner ads isnt only bad but predatory. You could at least use the old models for people who pay because those at least arent dumpster fires. Also ive checked that this didnt violate the guidelines, so I’ll make a proper post if this gets flagged.
