@kev Oh I hadn't noticed them, probably blocked...I would consider whitelisting this sort of ads though, sad to see them go under.Of course the problem with promoting that you don't track people is that it will mostly be on websites frequented by people like me who block ads and other malware, but how do you get out of that 🤷

@Matter yeah, I think that's the problem. It's kinds of a self-fulfilling prophecy really.

@kev "If you have any recommendations of ways to ethically monetise this blog" - Codefund just mentioned https://www.ethicalads.io/ on their twitter account.

@kev after a quick check on alternativeto.net there are two other open source options:https://www.adex.network/https://www.vi.ai/No experience with either, but worth a look.

@kev have you looked at the web monetisation API? Or the brave browser rewards? I'm not sure how I feel about these personally, but nice to see alternative models being developed.

@freddyym the code fund guys have recommended a couple of alternatives, and I’m having discussions with them. I will, of course, let you guys know what happens.

@daz I haven’t, but I will. Thanks.Brave isn’t really my thing. Great browser, but their monetisation methods are dubious to me.

@kev @freddyym Not sure if this is what you’re looking for (ads are not my area of expertise) but Vincent has an app called Sublime Ads (https://vincentritter.com/projects/sublime-ads). Might be worth a look.

@kev You could always set up a fosspay instance and place banners about it where the ads used to behttps://github.com/ddevault/fosspay

@tobtobxx the guys at CodeFund are recommending people go with http://ethicalads.io as a very similar alternative. I'm in conversations with them, but can't speak to their service at the moment.

@kev I use it for pretty much all of my donations other than the one person still on Liberapay and the odd crypto transaction. I highly recommend it :blobthumbsup:​
