Author: Ads are annoying but money is nice and I like money more than my sworn principles. lmao

  Where did he ever say anything about a "sworn principle" against ads? All I see is this: I believed that in addition to being annoying, it was unnecessary—that if for some reason advertising became infeasible, sure, some companies would go out of business, but they'd be replaced by better companies with other business models, and the rest of us would be better off for it. So basically "ads are annoying and unnecessary". Changing that opinion is not exactly some dramatic change in fundamental principles.

    Read his previous articles or comments on hackernews. Stop crying if you don't even look 2 inches further than your mouse pointer.

      I'm not engaging in some elaborate research project here. This isn't that important. If the guy has previous statements about a "sworn principle" against advertising then good for him I guess. But it's not in the article we're discussing now.

        I am not discussing the article. I made a comment about the Authors stance on advertising.
