    Ads provide nothing useful to society

    An easy revenue stream for independent, free website hosters? Without this we wouldn’t have free versions of Cookie Clicker, Universal Paperclips, A Dark Room, etc…

      There is limited ad-time slots and that means only groups with the most capital are going to occupy those slots.
