Display Ads that support OSS #267

Closed k4m4 closed 4 years ago

k4m4 commented 4 years ago

The terminalsare.sexy website has been gaining a decent amount of impressions each month. This January alone, there were 70.2K impressions on the site.
I was wondering whether you guys think it would be a good idea to add Carbon Ads to the website (possibly on the top/bottom of the table of contents), and donate all proceeds to the Open Source Collective or possibly MkDocs (the site generator used by terminalsare.sexy).
There are several other open-source repos that use Carbon Ads:
- lodash
- bootstrap - Why bootstrap shows carbon ads?
- [BootstrapCDN]() also donates all revenue to the Open Collective - Display Ads that support Open Source

Any feedback/ideas?

If you're looking to support OSS, I would suggest trying https://codefund.io (an an open source project) instead of Carbon Ads.

lirantal commented 4 years ago

I don't really know either of them so both sounds like great options to me and appreciate your kindness to support OSS @k4m4 ❤️

specifically supporting the projects k4m4 uses sounds like great direct feedback to those teams too so I'm all in for that.

As long as the ads aren't intrusive and are decent I think it's a good idea. :+1:

wsdjeg commented 4 years ago

I'm ok. thanks.

unixorn commented 4 years ago

If they aren't intrusive it's probably worth a try.

Sorry about commenting on an old issue, but I just wanted to follow up here and let you know that we've launched EthicalAds which is a spiritual successor to CodeFund. I'm not sure if you're looking to switch providers, but we're all open source and are working to support the community here.
