You know, i was going to retort with a big paragraph about gold-buying and the ins and outs of filtering out adverts on news sites, but, what it really comes down to is that we all have different B.S. Filter meters. And we all have different tastes in news articles.
In relation to the BS Filter meter, i'm indicating filtering out the adverts and reading the article, which you (allegedly did).
The filtering out of the adverts, you didn't.
In relation to differing tastes in news (worthy) stories/articles, we all have different tastes, without the adverts of gold-buying and impending doom of the world within eye-shot of the articles.
Well, that's that then.
Let me pose a question to you:
If the BBC were to have adverts of water purifiers and book adverts of the end is nigh and bunker down, the end of the world is coming adverts plastered around it's reputable and might i add very good reporting, would you dismiss the articles?
Or use your BS Filter meter (or rather the advert filter)?
