Speaking theoretically, it sounds good. But the devil is in the details. Once you allow a little advertising, you become beholden to the advertisers. They don’t like this, so they drop you. They don’t like that, so they drop you.
Next thing you know, you’re stuck with those guys who sell overpriced freeze-dried survival food.
Just my two cents.
The reason this site is like a strong oak , with a lot of shade, is that it was left alone by outside forces. And now, hopefully, strong enough roots to weather this storm. All has been prelude.
Honor is priceless.
