The green bar diagrams are great. It sums up why so many sites make me feel uneasy. If a site treats you as ad viewing cattle, their design is 80% junk (ads, inward facing "related" articles) and 20% content (see: digg, huffpo, tc, other "just a blog" things). If the site treats you as something worth while, you get content front-and-center with navigation and other help out of the way, but still nearby.
Each week I become more tempted to have every site I visit filtered by default through Arc90 Readability / Safari Reader.
I'm glad you liked it :). I hate it when I see a blog ro something and it's just a teeny tiny little bit of relevant text surrounded by a bunch of cruft.
The worst thing is that a lot of times this cruft isn't even ads, it's just other things for the site (or a picture of the author or something).
