I don't see ads as problem as long as they are not invasive and nsfw. Frankly I don't even see video ads as problem so long as they can be silenced and just play at one side without disturbing my view. Of course these needs to be optimized for those who are using smartphones.
There has to be over 100, the banner ads are less in number from my count (around 30 distinct ones) from the home page right side ads (at least 50, and I keep hitting more)
As long as you guys can cover the cost and don’t stress yourself sick from worrying about the financial burden of og the increased traffic , I don’t mind ads.
