Anyone up for an ad-free experience here?
Wait, before answering, allow me to preface by saying we'd need to make up nearly $100,000 in raw revenue to pull it off.
OK, now, still interested?
See, that's the problem with complaining about those automatic, programmatic ads — not those we attach ourselves from direct sponsors — even when the complaints are completely legit. They're still a steady, predictable stream of revenue. And if we did without that stream, we'd have to cut back on the product in some form, which would undoubtedly be even less popular than the ads.
