Ads will expand to fill all online spaces. Ads will inevitably come to both, it's just a matter of when they respectively need or decide to capture that profit and when they feel their users are sufficiently dependent so as not to be able to leave.

No ads on Wikipedia tho, not even after 25 years.

>>AndyKe+55
Do you not think those intrusive banners and popups implying that Wikipedia is about to imminently go broke unless you give them money, are ads?

>>Lerc+06
I think you're letting pedantry hinder you from seeing a useful pattern.

>>AndyKe+7t
I shall take that as a no, then.

I don't think it takes pedantry to think advertising in order to solicit funds for a non-profit is still advertising.

If anything the criteria I would apply is does it diminish the user experience while attempting to motivate the viewer to act in a manner that benefits the advertiser.

May I ask why you do not consider it advertising? Is it because it is asking for donations? Because it is a non-profit? If so, why would those factors exempt them?

I am certainly not alone in thinking their fundraising campaigns are intrusive >>33175098
