Personally, whatever revenue they make up in ads, they should instead ask for it in subscriptions. That would remove the incentive to promote engagement via whatever means necessary (resulting in hatred promotion and false catchy titles, to the detriment of the user), and weed out spammers. Of course, if they do that, user count will plummet. But I really don't like what they are doing now.
Me thinks open source is the future.
