I think indie developers shouldn't rely on advertising at all. It's like being adventurer and rely on carrots as food for adventure. You need to find the proper food to do adventure. Same with the developers. Indie developers must do software and provide a service or anything that is valued by a consumer. Anything else is just a waste of time.

Having ads doesn’t mean the context has no value. Otherwise why are you visiting any site with ads?

Indeed. But ads shouldn't be the reason you write software or write about software development.

Who’s doing that? And nobody needs to tell anyone else why they should or shouldn’t do something. Everyone can make their own way and living.

Sure. I never put that power of choice. I was just stating my opinion. The market will regulate everything without us stopping others to keep doing things for ads.
