Advertisers want to avoid controversy.
Increasingly that means they refuse to advertise against real news.
Advertisers are blocking stories with words like "pregnant" and "gay"

@sarafischer 2. The fetish around "neutrality" among large outlets is not about serving the readers. It's a relatively new concept designed to make advertisers comfortable. AND ITS NOT WORKING.
@sarafischer 3. That's why it's important to have sources of information that are not beholden to advertisers.
Because those kind of publications don't have to worry about creating a "safe" environment for ad dollars
And it's why popular.info will never have ads
