As yet another person who writes a blog (of sorts, though it's more accurately described as a news site), I pretty much 100% agree with the article writer. Indeed, every single deal I've been offered I've turned down, whether that be for free games, press releases, networks or anything else.
But what I find fascinating here (and this was briefly touched upon in the post), is how desperate many of these advertisers seem to actually be. I mean, they literally just approach anyone, regardless of whether the site has about 20 people a day or 20,000 a day. And if it's legal? Oh, who cares. I know people on Youtube who were approached for sponsorship despite posting nothing but songs taken from other sources.
The speed increase from removing tracking scripts and ad network stuff is nice too, though that's not really going to be the biggest concern in future, since adblockers are inspiring a move towards the type of 'native' content that he complains about.
