Yanno what, I realized this as I was reading it now, and then I read my comment and went, what the hell are you going on about?

I don’t know, I must’ve been really tired when I wrote that. X.x I’m gonna go back in time again and smack myself…

Or maybe something with an LCD display or LED lights. Or maybe an NES system. Or tickets to the E3 Expo.

Ah…ok. I normally run AdBlock Plus and NoScript constantly. Too many friends getting viruses and the like (not to mention audio ads…who the fuck thought those were a good idea?)

Well. I’m not ditiching NoScript, but I suppose I will start using the AdBlock whitelist then.

There are studies, and David’s right. Trust me, I actually teach this stuff at a university for a living.

Yeah, I got offered quite a few different things by Angela. That latest one which was c/ped above wasn’t the first time she’d made an offer for us.

I have to say though, NIWA (http://www.niwanetwork.org/) has done pretty well for itself thanks to Wikia’s actions here. We started off with only Bulbapedia, Zelda Wiki and Super Mario Wiki at the start of this year, and we’ve since picked up something like 6 or 7 wikis from them, helping them to transition into independents. We seem to have inspired a few others to start up similar groups as well, with Square Enix, Capcom and Sega wiki alliances currently forming.

flattr seems to be making in headway in the direction of "chuck a few cents that way", I see more and more sites that support it. It sidesteps microtransactions by bundling payments.

I’m not sure that logic works beyond a certain threshold though.
We all know Big Mac’s exist, Coca Cola etc. I think, beyond a point, (when you have already had the product a few times), I’m not sure more advertising or less will effect you much.
I know I wont buy Pepsi because I find I don’t like the taste. I dont think a difference in advertising quantity would effect that, and not for people going from Pepsi to Coke either.

Its just guesswork really, but I think there would be studies on this somewhere. And perhaps not just food. (seeing as watching food like bugers can make us hungry, and so can talking about them. Hmmm…I feel like a burger now)
