Are internet ads paid for by view, or by click? Because in all realism, with by 'by view' model, how the hell could the ads flop?

The ads were dropped because people didn't like ED's content. They were banned from Google's list years ago.

Apparently it was 20 bucks to get your add on the sight per day.

Eventually though not even the 'no questions asked' add gathering managed to get enough. ED's pages combined with the fact everyone uses add block shut down it down.

Yeah, they sorta got around that by making their own add gathering site. But even that was driven away by the content in the end.

Edit: Added link to add gathering site. You will notice it is a dead link. There is a reason for that.

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

Wow, this site isn't being horribly pandering at all.

An overly PC ED doesn't sound any better, and possibly a smidge worse.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

"expanding the userbase"

I have never heard a more crap argument. This never works, it just offends the current userbase.

I wonder if they will ever realize that sounding like Wikipedia when talking about the Tubes is a bad thing.

Please, take a moment of silence for all the venerable old threads rendered unintelligible by the Great Photobucket Dickification of 2017. So much was lost.

If they do they'll probably remove OhInternet and crawl back to ED.

You all realize this is a grand trolling right? I mean, it's a site for trolls who did the thing that'd offend their userbase the worst way possible...
