Sites are rarely involved in picking what ads get displayed. I know there’s controls with your ad provider that let you say it’s a tech site or a cooking site and similar ads will be shown but that’s not enough control to stop somebody malicious. The FBI recommends ad blockers for safety, not because they find them annoying.
Something happened to Did You Know Gaming a year or two ago (don’t hold me to any exact moment) and they turned into proper journalists. Instead of collecting hearsay and rebroadcasting it, something they 100% used to do and they’ve since called themselves on it a time or two, they’re now paying for translations of old interviews and hunting down devs to interview themselves. Their dedication to game preservation is uplifting as well.
I really appreciate the work they’re doing.
