Why I Made the Decision to Remove Auto Ads
I've been running this site for a while now, and at some point I added auto ads thinking it would help cover costs. But as time went on, I started to notice how annoying they really were.
🚫 The Problems I Noticed
Every page felt slower. Popups, banners, and those sneaky sticky ads kept showing up, and honestly, it ruined the experience. I don't even like ads myself—so why was I making my visitors deal with them?
- Page Load Times: Ads were making everything sluggish
- User Distraction: Content was getting buried under promotional noise
- Mobile Experience: Ads were especially intrusive on phones
- Personal Frustration: I was annoyed by my own website
💭 A Personal Realization
I want my site to be simple, fast, and focused only on the content I create. No distractions, no clutter. That's why I removed all the auto ads. It might mean less revenue, but at least I know people can enjoy the site the way I meant it to be.
My Core Principles:
- User Experience First: If it annoys me, it probably annoys my visitors
- Content Quality: The focus should be on what I've written, not what I'm selling
- Site Performance: Fast loading is more important than ad revenue
- Authentic Experience: I want people to enjoy visiting, not endure it
🎯 What This Means Going Forward
This site is something I built with pride. And I want it to feel like a place worth visiting—not just another ad-filled webpage.
No more auto ads. Just real content, made for real people.
What You Can Expect:
- Faster Loading: Pages load quickly without ad scripts
- Clean Design: Content is the star, not advertisements
- Better Mobile Experience: No more accidentally clicking ads
- Focus on Value: Every page is designed to help, not sell
🤝 Supporting the Site
If you find value in what I create and want to support the site, there are better ways than suffering through ads:
- Share Content: Tell others about articles you found helpful
- Provide Feedback: Let me know what content you'd like to see
- Engage Genuinely: Comments and discussions make this worthwhile
- Return Visits: Building a loyal readership means more than ad clicks
💬 A Message to Other Site Owners
If you're running a website and considering ads, ask yourself: Would I want to visit my own site with these ads running?
Sometimes the best business decision is prioritizing your users' experience over short-term revenue. A site people actually want to visit is worth more than one that generates a few dollars from annoyed visitors.
🔮 Moving Forward
This decision represents what I want this site to be: a place where content matters, where speed is prioritized, and where visitors are respected.
No more auto ads. Just real content, made for real people.
Thank you for visiting and for caring about quality content. Your time and attention are valuable—I want to honor that.
