Yeah, the sentiments I'm seeing in this comments section ("they'll be back" / "he should charge even more when they return") are funny in that they're totally disconnected from the current reality of digital advertising: i.e., it's a free market, and ad spend budgets are finite.
If people don't want the space, they won't buy it. If the space is seen as less valuable, the people who do buy it will pay less. Supply and demand, baby!
