There are tons of ads on dictionary.com, but people still use that a lot. Some time, we may have to decide between canceling the project, and inserting ads. If it comes to that, I don't mind ads, especially if they are easily disabled through preferences. If anyone has any moral objections, please explain them. While I hate ads as much as the next guy, they serve a purpose. If we can design an ad system that is as unobtrusive as possible, I would say we have done the best we can.

Why does everyone oppose advertizing? I it's descrete enough, it's not intrusive and doesn't lower our credibility.
Because it is intrusive and it would lower our credibility.
