In Response To: Nick, why aren't you selling banner ads ? *NM* (erez)

For me the Web is a great way to publish content without relying on mass media. The home-spun aspect of Web development fits perfectly with the self-reliance, crafts, editorial... values I like so much. I don't know Nick's model but it's refreshing to go to pages that are self financed - it's cheap enough so there's no need to bring in players that may dilute the message.

I'm not willing to argue the point but advertising (while it makes certain things possible) tends to cheapen things.
