Our local newspaper has started requiring you to create an account to view "limited" free articles, or to subscribe.
Their literature extolls the virtues of subscribing, including that you can view the content in an "advert-light" environment.
In their FAQs there's a section "What is 'Advert-light'" which they've decided to to provide an answer to - it doesn't expand at all.
Which, combined with the choice of name, kind of suggests it's not going to be nearly as advert free as hoped
