You can innovate around the issue, like some of the comments mention.
You should focus on growing sustainably, instead of selling yourselves to advertisers for quick cash. God knows there are a plethora of other places we can get our content from.
There's enough information pollution in our daily lives - I won't accept you polluting my reading of your 'well-written' articles.
Agreed. I was recently miffed when they switched their RSS feed to only include a snippet instead of actual content. I was also recently miffed when Forbes started blocking ad blockers.
I have subscribed to the Wired print magazine off & on over the past decade and never paid more than $10/yr for it. I am not currently subscribing, but if presumably they'll put their best content in print, too, why in the world would anyone pay 5x the print cost for online access?

So, in summary... good riddance.
