Just owning a website doesn't mean you are entitled to make ad revenue. If your website can't generate money in any other way then your business model should probably be changed. Make it easy to accept donations for exceptional quality for people who are willing to donate.
- dkrich 13y agoI'm not sure I understand your reasoning. Assuming they run a profitable business, telling them that they should change their business model because you don't like ads is like arguing that Nike should charge less because their shoes don't cost $90 to manufacture. You can argue until you are blue in the face about why something shouldn't be the way it is, but it won't change the fact that despite your pleas to the contrary (and perhaps intuition), that IS the way it is.
