I think ads are lame. Power users block them with AdBlock Plus, anyway, so if you cater to savvy users you'll get shit clickthrough rates and annoy everyone else.

yes, they are too cheap, especially when they can find something else for free. People nowadays think that they're always entitled to digital things for free for some reason.
