I like the dog thing!
The ads have basically just been further user content so far. Speaks to how awesome we are.
Edit: only thing that's got me wondering, is the new sponsored subverse. A dead subverse for submitting nudes of yourself. Just odd.

What? please explain?

I LIKE the dog, I have dogs ...I just wondered if you guys did?
EDIT I also like cats so alligators are not far off the mark as well.....they do give me a dead robin a day?
You also missed the second) to make your link work?

Absolutely, it was inevitable, whether some like it or not. The only caveat for me is that they remain as non-intrusive as possible. Otherwise, it's a decent way to provide the service without being fully dependent on contributions which may, or may not materialize.

I know....as long as we don't get the 'flashing ads' its all OK by me
EDIT for bad spelling

Do we have to click on them to generate income, or just letting them appear makes money?
Do you know?

It's $25 per day, flat.
So far all the ads have been good content though, you should follow the links.

I have no idea, maybe ask Atko in his thread on the subject. Good question.
Edit: Atk0 to atko ... always get the Winchester and the man mixed up - LOL

Definitely, I even have ad blocking off
[–] MrBlueSky [S] 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Agreed, all ad blockers should be off on voat ( mine are)

I don;t know about you but that $5K a month for two guys just working makes me wince....all hail the ads in my book

So far the ads have been:
a) unobtrusive
b) occasionally hilarious
Provided we don't start seeing sponsored posts at the very top of every page like Reddit does, I have no issues with ads on Voat.

As long as it doesn't become those malware ads

As long as it stays the way it is right now, I'm totally fine with it.
