> No ads on your blogs (no ad-farms), some light ads may be allowed on a per-blog exception basis. So no way to montize blogs for the creators. Are you serious

  I’m not against creators making money, but the default stance should be no-ad with exceptions for light ads on quality blogs when necessary. This whitelists the spam problem which is more effective and reduces the incentive to push large volumes of low quality content that only exists to serve ads. Creators can also make money via paid subscriptions and Patreon, both of which are better models than ads. You’re not supposed to spam every post you’ve written, you’re supposed to post an interesting one that introduces people to your blog so they can then follow if they like it. The wiki is a ‘portal’ of links to the blogs themselves. The post requirement is better for engagement and more likely to get people interested in your blog if they like the post.
