I have various blogs and outlets for putting up my writing. Only one of those has Google ads on it. It has Google ads not for the revenue (I don't think the ad revenue has even generated enough over the years to cover the hosting cost) but it is for me to understand how Google ads work on a Wordpress website. My experience of ads usually comes from "I need to integrate this SDK and provide these reporting tools so that the people who care about ad revenue can stay away from my desk" not a "I am a small-time content provider using Google ads." At least, that's the story I tell myself to salve my ego due to not making any money from ads on my personal website :-)
