Dropping Adsense

Inspired by a post on Coding Horror I’m dropping advertisements here.

“I am no fan of advertising. I hate the fact that most websites are plastered with obnoxious, barely relevant ads. I’ve considered advertising before, but I rejected it. I don’t want to be part of the problem.”

I too hate the fact that most websites are plastered with barely relevant ads. Until now I have never seen myself as part of the problem because I only use one block of light Adsense ads in the sidebar, not several blocks everywhere. But the post opened my eyes and I now can see myself as part of the problem.

So I’ll drop ads here.

Perhaps ads will come back sometimes in the future, when I have to live from them or I can support other open source developers. Until then, no ads.
