- mikl 7y agoThat was the correct thing to do. Considering how many npm packages the average project consumes, having even a single line of advertising for each would make npm a pain in the ass to use, and people would be looking for ways to block the ads.
- gerogerke 7y agoClearly, you didn't read the article from the original author. Ads were deduplicated, so only a single ad was shown, even if 500 deps used the funding dependency.
- mikl 7y agoThat’s a big _if_. Until now, each package with ads have rolled their own, and since there’s probably more money to be had that way, there’s no reason that would not continue.
