Seems like my browser is always hung up “waiting for st.blogads.com” and until the blogads get displayed, the “recent comments” aren’t displayed. Is it really worth whatever beer money those things generate? They seem to be clogging up the internets worse than a DOS attack.
And why should you guys get that income? I’m the one that has to look at it when it finally gets displayed, why don’t I get paid?
Please share widely!

1. Yes.
2. For the same reason that Anheuser-Busch pays the TV networks, and not you, to watch beer commercials on TV.

I want to put myself on the “do not show it to me unless I’m paid” list. We should at least get half.

1> “They” can identify who is watching television. Nielsen does sweeps on particular months, and pays select people to allow boxes to be installed that monitor what is on the television 24/7/365. Newspapers are filled with ratings.

2> Why should we get half of the miniscule profits? What have you ever done to bring advertisers here?

2.5> Will you also contribute to paying half the site’s expenses?

3> If it will stop your whining, download Firefox and learn how to use it.

4> If you really want the money, start your own blog. David et al provide a forum for all of us, including you. Demanding to be paid because you like to foist opinions upon us may mean that you have a bright future as a Crossfire-type pundit, but the world doesn’t work that way.
