He's referring to the insane number of ads on those sites, not
usability.
we, being Linux Users, belong to the second rung of civilisation and
hence do not realise that the unwashed masses love ads - they visit
sites sometimes solely to look at the ads. I know my kids have more
interest in the ads on TV than in some of the programs. We, of
course, know that this kind of overstuffing sites with ads is a
flawed business model - but I am constantly amazed at the amount of
money people with a flawed business model make. Like, if microsoft
hadnt existed, any professor presenting it's business model as a
viable one would have been laughed out of the place.
