The advertisement he refers to was a plain text bar at the top of the page with no tracking nor any distracting visuals. And when you scroll down into the article it disappears.
I dont see any problem with this kind of innocent unobtrusive level of advertising and frankly wish he kept it for his own financial gain and others used it as a model.
- GordonS 10y agoHe still has this sponsorship message (which I am also totally fine with), but it seems to be blocked by uBlock Origin, if you are using that?
- jmgordon 10y agoWith uBlock Origin I was able to see the sponsorship message by clicking the "Toggle cosmetic filtering for this site" button.
- NoGravitas 10y agoI'm using uBlock Origin; after the previous article was published, I whitelisted this site.
- hoorayimhelping 10y agoDaring Fireball has similar curated, unobtrusive ads. This is the ideal ad-sponsored content, but it seems like it takes a very large audience to be viable and worth the time.
- Grue3 10y agoAnd I didn't even notice it before I saw the screenshot in the blog post that shows how it should look like. I scrolled back to the top, and there it was! The click through rates on that thing are probably terrible.
