Is there a reliable source on being able to buy your way past the requirements? The last time I heard this story (like a decade ago), the author was asking large ad networks to pay to have their ads reviewed (and quite possible rejected), rather than him working for free when they have plenty of cash around. I don't see the problem with that The acceptable ads program was another bluff-call, where people who had been claiming "I only object to intrusive ads. If there was a way to only allow passive and well-behaved ads I'd allow them!" got their alleged wish and then got angry about it
