Different topics suit different venues. HN, like any similar forum, is not suited to objective debate on all topics. On any forum, there are some topics where a broad consensus is held and maintained by participants. Advertising is one of those topics on HN.

I defended ads (to an extent) in a comment above [1], but it hasn't been received well (unsurprisingly).

It doesn’t look greyed out on my side at least, so I guess you must be sitting at around 0 at least as far as votes go.

Which is nice, it is good to at least have someone representing the position, even if I disagree with it.
