I came across a great retrocomputing blog recently but didn’t realize until browsing it away from my home network that it’s literally 50% ads. Like 2 inches of text, then 2 inches of ad, with a pop-up at the bottom, and another one coming in from the side.
Do ad revenues from a personal blog really add up to something worth the feeling you get seeing your own blog littered with ads?

Advertising for the good...
@forty2 Not surprised and even think we can embrace the same model under our own rules and mutuality but who's up for doing that more in-house?
I think this is the difference in moving to different models by COPYING literally our own version... been saying these kind of things for a while, but even long-term crushing ping-pong about that is not for everyone (anyone>?)... so in a way (good or bad) at least someone else is doing as we can't survive without advertising ourselves... and the other teams have a head-start.
I believe we can do it when conversation, from anyone, can be taken and that will run with.
I'm speaking around and waiting as the start and continuation is everything even without direct immediate result...
