It's just disappointing that the state of advertising is so... Oversaturated. Like, I wouldn't mind ads- and might pay them some heed- if they weren't all over the place. I've made a hobby of counting the ads-per-page on sites I visit- I'm happy that Voat keeps it to one.

I tend to try to disable ad blocking on sites that I go to which have decent content. Unfortunately that doesn't mean I actually pay attention to to the ads - it just means that I acknowledge that if I don't I'm robbing the site owner of a portion of his income. I find ads in software on the other hand to be obnoxious, and I'd much rather pay a 1-time fee or subscription than get bombarded by them all the time.

Ads are generally meaningless to me because 99.9% of the time they're not making me aware of anything new or exciting. A lot of the time they're embellishments or outright lies which attempt to make something seem like it's more than it really is. If someone made it their business to lie to you on a regular basis, would you really want to hear what they had to say?

I disabled blockers on your site, so hopefully the few pennies that go in to your pot helps out.

Thank you, I appreciate it (though I don't currently run ads on my site)- I just have one static image that leads to a book I wrote. When I get proper advertising, I want something that's not obnoxious or invasive, you know?
