This week, Walt’s column highlights the problem with online ads, which may be degrading the online experience for users. Walt and Nilay discuss how there isn’t yet a balance of what makes users, publishers, and advertisers happy.

We love your feedback on the topics of the show and suggestions on how to make our podcasts better and more fun for the new year — you can tweet at Walt at @waltmossberg and Nilay at @reckless. And of course, we'd love it if you subscribed in iTunes (here's the direct RSS feed, if you like), along with The Verge's other podcast The Vergecast. You might also want to check out Recode Decode, hosted by Kara Swisher, and Too Embarrassed to Ask featuring The Verge's Lauren Goode.

And hey, we finally have Ctrl-Walt-Delete T-shirts! Check out our merch store here.
