Browsing the internet today is so exhausting.
I would add one more rule "make sure your user has to perform at least 37 clicks before accessing your ad riddled article"

The Internet is exhausting because the Internet is exhausted. Good content is hard, and there's less of it than you'd hope. The web gains perhaps a few minutes worth of meaningful content per day, if that. And unless you particularly enjoy being the one trying to ferret it out of the torrent, it's better to let some other aggregator do it for you. Read that, then turn it off and go do something else.
I have a rule of thumb that hasn't failed me for a decade now: the trustworthiness of a source is inversely proportional to the amount of advertising it puts up.
