Thanks, so I think we both agree that some advertisements are fine, which is the point I've been trying to make. How do we make all advertisements "fine". Direct payment would never have worked for my personal site, I could not pay and certainly my dozen readers weren't going to. But that site made my career. Ads allowed that. As for what advertisers need to continue funding that, while not being awful, I think that is the interesting question.
