for me, the main issue with ads as a business model: they make the product crappy
facebook, twitter, yelp, blogs/content - the more you monetize, the more annoyed your users are
there's an inherent tension between the success of the product and the success of the business, which is problematic especially as you scale

- jordan_clark 14y agoThe success of advertising in your app depends on how valuable a service you provide. As value increases, so does the viability of an ad based revenue model.
