- I'm reading an Axios article on mobile about John Fetterman and thinking he should just admit that he's a Republican already and get off the Democratic ticket when I spot an article beneath it that isn't actually an article. It's an ad. It confused me for about 2.5 seconds and then ticked me off.May 11, 2025 16:59
- It is so seamlessly and sneakily integrated. Why the fuck is Axios allowing this bullshit on their site? The font. The mock headline, the text size. The accompanying thumbnail image and lede. All of it intended to simulate an Axios article and quietly blend in.
- I'm guessing we'll all see something different below the digital fold at www.axios.com/2025/05/09/r... For me, it's an ad from BASE Power for "affordable, reliable power" in Houston.
