Why am I seeing ads on their github.io documentation and example pages?

Is the point to show something cool to devs or pick up pageview pennies?

I'm out!

God forbid someone tries to monetize a project he's spent over two and a half years developing/maintaining..

Perhaps I should clarify. I've got no issue with engineers seeking compensation for their work. I know the world can be a harsh place, and some people truly need the money.

Michael, you're absolutely right. People can insert whatever markup and JS they choose.

It simply seems an odd strategy for a CSS framework to squeak by on ads in the docs. An unfortunate side effect in this case is it makes it unclear what parts are documentation or examples, and what is an ad.

Can you seriously say it's hard to distinguish the ads from content here with a straight face?

Bootstrap 3 docs had ads too.

On mobile, yes.
