Jan 8, 2016 at 21:19 comment added Addison Crump Would this principle be the same but lower rep points for beta sites? (like how the moderation system works)
Jan 8, 2016 at 14:13 comment added Monica Cellio In principle, sure, but is anybody trying to sell ads for Skeptics or Mi Yodeya or Seasoned Advice? I thought they weren't.
Jan 8, 2016 at 12:57 comment added Pollyanna @MonicaCellio My expectation is that as they move to the standard sidebar ad format they will increase their ad display. Right now when they don't have ads to show, they show internal ads, such as area51, community promotion, and jobs. When they have external advertising, the internal ads compete. My understanding is that the internal ads are not much more than placeholders, and will always lose out to paid advertising.
Jan 8, 2016 at 10:16 comment added terdon I don't see adds on SO either. I just tested with Adblock disabled and I still didn't see any. What are these adds you speak of?
Jan 8, 2016 at 2:25 comment added Monica Cellio Are you talking specifically about SO? I never see external ads on the sites I'm active on, just the SE and community-promotion ads -- and I want to see those.
Jan 8, 2016 at 1:55 comment added Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' I'm all for fewer ads, but I just don't see this happening. Surely all SO users with 100k rep use Adblock or userscripts that don't show the ads anyway. Less technical users who have 100k on a non-IT site might not, but since when has SE ever cared about those?
