Why Are There No Ads on This Site?

Why are there no ads on this site, or in any of my apps?: Because I dislike ads.
Doesn't this site cost money?: Yes.
So why not use ads to pay for it?: See question 1. I'd rather pay out of pocket than use ads.
But you need ads or much of the Web would go away.: As someone who saw the Web when it was first invented, I would consider that a good thing.
But sites I love need ads.: That's fine for you. I don't object to anyone using ads, and I know how that market works. Enjoy.
You use sites with ads, don't you?: I block them. I time-shift ad-supported television so I don't have to see ads. I cut ads out of my life.
What about a site that won't let you in unless you subscribe?: If I see value, I subscribe. If I don't, I never return to that site again.
You would rather walk away rather than see ads?: Yes.
But you would miss out on that site!: Correct.
But I have seen you advertise for this site or your books.: Most people don't object to ads on their sites, so if I place an ad there I am putting it in front of people willing to see ads.
So it's just you who won't put up with ads?: Right.
Even if it costs you time and money?: See my book, Living the Principled Life.
Was that an ad?: Kinda ;)
