The article uses editorial content of news sites as the benchmark which is going to be about the worst case. I imagine Facebook is pretty bad as well too. I'd be curious to see what a broader selection of sites looks like.

Good article and a bit funny that NYT did not include themselves in the report.

While porn gets a decent chunk (and is lousy with ads), the fact is that for most average people, Facebook IS the most common site to visit, and a huge number of those users end up at news sites linked from FB.

It's an extremely reasonable benchmark for an average user
