I think one of my biggest issues with longform content on web 2.0 is the fact that it takes forever to consume it. It might be just as many words as something on Hive, but to monetize it they need to have all the ads that are almost impossible to scroll through sometimes. Recipe sites are a great example of that. Just give me the recipe...

For sure. I struggle to get through content in other places, largely because it is designed like a supermarket - the stuff I want daily, is nowhere near the front door - have to wind through the entire store of temptation to buy a carton of milk.
It is distracting and, they pop up and move the text on some sites, making it even harder. I have been closing out of sites that are too hard to read because of ads and design.
Lolol - I was just thinking this the other day. It was a simple recipe, but took an eternity (it felt) to make any sense of it.
Yeah, that is exactly it. Then you have the paywall sites. I won't even get into those...
We have various privacy laws in Europe, so visiting sites requires accepting or rejecting trackers. I reject, but I haven't found an "auto reject" setting. Then for many US sites, if you reject, you are blocked from the content completely. These are "free" sites.
That's horrible. I know a lot of YouTube stuff is blocked based on region too.
