I wasn't aware Mashable had anything but ads. I figured they had moved to the million-dollar homepage business model. - Cyndy

oh snap - Allen Stern

AdMuncher. I haven't seen an ad in years. - Akiva Moskovitz

thanks Akiva for reading my content, learning something, using that in your practice and not allowing me to earn a living - Allen Stern

Actually, yeah, I can see where I misrepresented myself. Sorry about that. I allow ads on sites I actually like to support but block everything else. - Akiva Moskovitz

oh - Allen Stern

If you run a business whose only revenue model is serving ads (and its name is not Google) then you fucked yourself... - Jason Carreira

Personally, I prefer to contribute directly rather than clicking on ads anyway. - Akiva Moskovitz

you do? ok here's my paypal address :) - Allen Stern

I'd have to visit your site first! - Akiva Moskovitz

and why aren't you? what can i do to put you into a new web tech blog today? - Allen Stern

Jason, tell that to Ars, Weblogs Inc and PaidContent. - Duncan Riley

I'll tell them in a couple years if they're still around... the only ads I ever even bother looking at are on Google searches... It's the only time it's even vaguely relevant to me. - Jason Carreira

The sites that Duncan mentioned have been around for some years now. Ads can be subjective to some. They might not be relevant to you but will be for others. Someones trash is gold to others. - AJ Batac
