This kind of thing makes me really miss stuff like Project Wonderful.
Ads could have been something that wasn't abusive but it took some pathological behavior from Google and Facebook to bring us the hell we have now.
- wffurr 6y agoPenny Arcade is considering running ads again partly because, as they put it, "I seem to have found somebody that won't serve weird scripts to readers, which has the scent of progress."
