It has the advantage of being quick to set-up and maintenance-free, but its tracking is not something I wish to impose on our users. The current compromise - making sure everything works well under adBlock to those who wish to opt-out of advertising - feels like a bad compromise. \r\n\r\nOur advertising code should also allow us to replace ads with protips from time to time (like [keyboard shortcuts](https://github.com/ipfspics/server/issues/4) or why ipfs is cool in the first place), run pro bono ads for Firefox for our IE and chrome users and pro bono ads for charities when major catastrophes occur.\r\n\r\nWe can run those on our nsfw posts for now, while we scale this, and replace adSense with this when it will scales well.\r\n\r\nSome idea of things we can run as ads:\r\n * digitalocean affiliate link\r\n * Amazon affiliate links"}}
