I had some sites that used it years ago ca. 2006. $500/mo at peak. Then one month it suddenly halved for no apparent reason. And it kept dropping. After a while or just wasn't with the ugliness. And I learned to never count on Google.

Since then I've become anti-ad and haven't had any for years. I am sorry for my embarrassing lapse in judgment. :)

So if you don’t say anything then Google will think - yeah, that’s one way to make profit!

Easy to become anti-ad after they stop paying lol

Like me becoming anti-my-girlfriend after she dumped me

This is pointing out something that seems to be deeply human, it's not intended as a personal dig, because I think I'd be in the same boat:

It's interesting, not unexpected and not un-understandable, that your opinion started changing as the dollar value decreased. I greatly dislike what this says about the effect of money on the human psyche. It's as old as time, but this hack hasn't been patched and I don't think it can be: Humans will sell their souls for a price.

I forgive you for your lapse in judgement. You are human after all - not intended as an insult ;)
