I do not, so all fiction? That sounds awesome! Thanks! Ya I am basically trying to gather a lot of 5 book groupings around mood, theme, and topic (and eventually others). And, use that to help people bump into books better, and find them ba

It depends on the website and what you are trying to achieve :) I run https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ with a friend; it takes a lot of her time to code it, and make sure it is working efficiently, and can scale during

Also, to chime in with another site I run -> https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ Ads pay for everything there even though something like 55% of people use an ad blocker. My partner has been really improving it and addin

I wouldn't trust calculators, I'd compare on reddit just start or just test them.

thanks :), it has been a joy to build and work on. We are getting close to more base features in place and then I can start on the more unique approaches. I should have genres and age groups added this winter, then book series data, and slo

Thanks! :), I am betting you might have an ad blocker? Very cool, where did it recommend The Little Engine That Could via the Hobbit? Very curious :)

This is it. You trigger a pull back in the economy, if you get lucky you don't trigger a recession. But, if you need to trigger a recession you do it rather than out of control inflation.

Another engineer who doesnt understand the cost and complexity of building and maintaining a platform or marketing. Love it :)

Do what you want, but please recognize that is how that website pays its bills. And, you are getting joy/use from the content ads pay for.

Do not use youtube then. And, life is not a quest toward perfect efficiency. Are you a human or machine? Having fun and enjoying life are not something to be scared of. You sound like you have your day scheduled down to the minute?

Most people don't care at all. In fact probably 99% of people don't care at all. Website owners def can set prices. It is super easy.

Can you give me 3 specific examples of sites you are browsing "for work" that have ads?

by bwb 4y ago
Those websites are creating something for you, and you are complaining that they are trying to get paid for their work? Don't browse websites with ads then. Attention is not something you actively control, its a very complex issue betw

Ah so you are an extremist with no understanding of the real world, thank you, I will exit this conversation before you start telling me about the lizard people who really control our leaders living in the underground.

by bwb 4y ago
Sigh... not in any meaningful way. The point is this, ads directly fund websites. Without ads those websites do not exist. Bill boards do not directly fund highways, our taxes do, and those are collected 99.9999999999% from not bill boards.

I def agree, but things change. Gabe will get older at some point and something will happen. If not him, his kids.

Spoken like an engineer with no real understanding of what it takes to host Reddit let alone an understand of the business side of things. You have zero idea what you are talking about.

They don't manipulate, they sell. Huge difference. Fox news manipulates... ads sell.

sigh, nothing wrong with ad blockers and I've got nothing against them. But, if you want to support the websites you use you should think about what you are doing. What is frustrating here is the lack of respect for people who create a

yes they do. Bill board ads do not.

Naive. I have no problem with ad blockers. Distracted while working? What work do you do that requires reading websites with ads?

One fb and google were startups, startups will one day beat them. It is the nature of the marketplace. There is so much room to play in areas they can not. I dont hear you challenging a business model. I hear you calling to tear down a syst
