I am pretty sure Cory was not advocating click-throughs to generate ad revenue, in fact he seemed to be specifically trying to frame that particular approach as being vulnerable to competition.
The key question of course being, how can hipmunk actually make money doing this?

- Goladus 15y agoOh he definitely he sounded smug and know-better, he's a professional TV personality and his audience is not typically hackers. But I think that's more a reflection of him not actually caring deeply about topic more than true conviction. That comment was just a set-up for the truly interesting question.
