#Web sites generating money from #advertising are like:

"Please understand us, we need money to survive, so we will sell access to your computer to X"

where X can be:
- literally anyone
- shady businesses
- personal data collectors
- organizations with a similar audience
- individually vetted entities

#ads don't have to be evil, but in my experience the louder they shout, the worse deal they want to push on the readers.

Shame that #projectwonderful is dead.

...I'm now thinking of making this a proper #extinctionburst campaign. Drop another 100 bucks into #Projectwonderful and advertise on sites that have brought me joy in the past or that are likely to do so in the future, before the bid suspension phase starts. Who's with me?
