Removing Programmatic Ads for Reader Trust

Here is a piece I wrote about why we're removing programmatic ads from our site. At its core, it is a decision to put our readers at the center of all of our decision making and to think longterm about how to build and sustain trust with the people that support our work. We thought that running programmatic ads that disrupt the experience of reading our work, compromise reader's privacy, and siphon revenue to tech monopolies was both bad business and bad for our readers. So, that ended today. https://lnkd.in/gZrRRggM
