I guess you are tired of intrusive ads?

I run a blog myself and the money that keeps it running comes exclusively from my pocket. All the content is free and fully accessible (no paywalls, reading quota, etc.). I build the website and write the articles during nights and weekends.

I share your discontent with the current state of things. However, I plan on having a small piece of real estate on the page with an ad banner as long as it's privacy-focused, non intrusive and doesn't hurt performance.
