the fact that we do not have advertising is costing us. This is unrealized income at a minimum of $60k a day and probably much more. In other words it is many millions a year. Yet, the Board and the community have chosen to avoid ads so that we can maintain our independence.
You have a strange definition of cost. Wikipedia is missing out on tons of money by not being in the porno business. You don't get to write that up as a cost.
The technical term Danny was alluding to but didn't use was [[opportunity cost]].
And opportunity cost is the measurement we should be using. There's no sense in treating expenditures any differently from unrealized income.
That said, there are other reasons to not have porn ads.
