Yeah, I've been noticing that to lately. Even places like CNN, you click on a news story and a video starts playing. Same with subscriptions to a lot of major city papers that used to be free. Now they give you a couple of stories and that's it.
It used to be I had a few good sites with no garbage but those are becoming very rare.
I believe I got a malaware from this here site from that ice cream ad just by scrolling over it on my laptop. You know that V9 that takes over your home page pretending it's google? Finally got rid of it and then there was a coupon downloader, got rid of that too now. I have antivirus software but still.
The point is a lot of the internet seems to be going to the dump and it's all about the money now. Like hockey salaries.
Has it outlived it's usefulness? Appears to be headed that way.
