Interesting, Yeh, in this country advertising is as pervasive as the air we breath, usually a good thing until it becomes totally polluted. Sometime in the past I pondered our pervasive adverts, everywhere, I guess today the vehicle online is like adsense(?), and I've concluded that over time American marketing is what got us to this juncture in time, fubar, depending on anyone's POV. Let's see if Medium has popularity with writers, and except for linking to content inside/outside Medium, is not that why Medium is what it is, no ads?🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
