    They are technically correct except google is adsense … the ad market place.

    So technically they are not correct, and factually they are not correct, an effectively they are not correct. Sounds like they are wrong

      If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quaks like a duck it might just be a duck!

    I’d argue some magazines are basically ad pushers wrapped around a thin layer of minimum effort articles.

    Hell, most of them, when I think about it.

    Google, though… ads are their core business.

      Ad publishing platform. They don’t make the ad, that’s the ad company but they are distributors.

      The term ‘newshole’ was used by newspaper publishers to describe the amount of space left to print news after the ads were all laid out. The ad placements were planned out first, then news articles were literally edited to fit around them.

      I agree about magazines being ad pushers. And they have the balls to charge $10+ for the “content”.

    The one thing that really sets it as an ad company is that there is no customer service unless it’s for ads publishing.

    Nah I’d have to disagree in that statement entirely. TV Stations are ad companies. It isn’t shows with commercials every now and then, it’s the other way around.

    And have you read a Magazine in the last 30 years? They’re entirely ads, including sponsored content.

    I’d agree if Google were just serving ads from a different source, but since they’re serving ads that they themselves source they are an ad company.

      That change only nerfed Adblockers and made Firefox the better supported platform for UBlock Origin but I think they talk about web environment integrety aka DRM for the web, that will break ad blockers enfirely for all sites that want to block them!
