I'm not familiar with this situation, but if what you're saying is true, I can see where the perception came from. The unfortunate reality is that the Internet is full of sites which just copy-paste an existing popular site (Stack Overflow, various fandom wikis, etc.) and slap a bunch of ads on it hoping to make some fly-by-night profit. If I had came across ATT, I absolutely would've assumed that's what it was and would not have taken the time to read their FAQ explaining otherwise.

But they read enough to be sort of aware of the differences in philosophy, in that they knew that ATT allowed for content that had been taken off TVT for being too explicit. If you already know that, then you've taken some time to actually look at the site.

I'm not sure how you would have gotten that impression with the 100% lack of ads. Aggressive adblockers, I can only hope. Either way, brand-name attraction is strong.
