While I am already impressed by how The Pitt News has taken advantage of ad opportunities, with many ads featured both on the website and in the print edition, I believe it would be to The Pitt News’ advantage to take your advertisement goals even further and replace editorial material with these helpful advertisements. 

When was the last time you were online and didn’t get some sort of ad right away? Whether you’re watching your favorite show or doomscrolling on social media, you are bound to come across some sort of ad or marketing tactic. There is no escaping companies and brands profiting and capitalizing off you every second they can.

Forced ads get in the way of people playing a game, and if you are as impatient as I am, they will most likely make them delete it and therefore make the developers less money in the long run. If ads are scarce or if the players get to choose when they watch ads, the mobile gaming experience would be so much better.
