How does only wanting visitors who are willing to view ads recommend the use of a pay wall? Those hardly seem related.

- cgh 11y agoThey are both trying to monetize the content. I thought that was obvious.
- chc 11y agoThat is obvious, but the person I was replying to said "if you don't want the traffic." It is not evident that they want to exclude 99% of web traffic, only the relatively small number who are unwilling to view ads. In short, for most people, a paywall is a much stronger negative than ads, so it's not an obvious why somebody who wants to use ads should just use a paywall.
