Ad revenue, the objective moral standard against which all decisions must be weighed.

I, for one, will do anything for the products and services that support this podcast.

That sounds almost exactly like one line in a cyberpunk play I wrote.

How much ad revenue do they expect after spitting in their readership's face?

There's no gaps in a rainbow.

That's really upsetting to read. Pink News has always been my go-to for trans news. They've consistently been the only site I've found that accurately and sensitively covers stories other media sites won't touch. This will have wide-reaching consequences for the state of trans news.

Surely this won't have any consequences (it will)

I only ever visited pink news occasionally because, god damn, it was one of the worst programmed mobile sites I've ever seen. I guess now I won't bother to make the effort.
