Google Ads????
Since the google ads have been installed should all the options of this blog site open all functions to all users???? or should donations still be enforced for all blogging options???

1. Well, donate some money
and get a star, turn it off, and you won't see the ads anymore.

3. Thats not what he is asking.
He doesn't seem to mind the ads. He is asking if the Google Ads should pay for the features that donations used to pay for, if I understand him correctly.

I happen to agree with him, but I personally believe there is a rats chance in hell Skinner will also.

4. Yes you are correct..
I am saying why donate, if the google ads are paying for the site.. also, I don't mind the ads.. they take up little space and if I don't want to click, I don't have to. And as far as donations.. I am so poor, I should have my own donation web site... the custody battle is killing me financially any extra money I may have has to go to paying a lawyer. Also, I work 56 hrs a week for a measly 26,ooo salary and I don't even have benefits. Anyone looking for a scientist with a bachelors degree in the tampa bay area and will pay at least 30,000 and have a few less hours, let me know..

Also, I am female.

6. Skinner said the amount garnered from the Google ads isn't
enough to sustain the website instead of the fund drives.

You can get a star for as little as $5.

7. Because, if you remember back when Skinner was implementing
the ads, he indicated that they don't bring in as much revenue as the fund drives, so therefore, it would make sense that the ads don't generate enough revenue to open the entire site to non subscribers.


Plus, keeps the trolls out.

2. Even as a star holder I keep the google ads active.
I click on the ones that cost Republicans and Corporations money.

It's the American Way!
