Sheldon Brown's content is great, but is it ironic that the first thing you see on his site is a Google banner ad?
replyUnderstandably, he'd like to earn money on his content and I see no problem with that. But for me to visit his site and have Google add yet another tracking event to their "interest pile" about me (I guess i'm in the market for bikes now?) is a bit off putting.
He can't be making more than a few bucks a month through that single ad, right?
I truly had no idea, I guess I've always had an ad blocker.
replyHe's been dead since 2008, so I assume the banner ad keeps the lights on in the absence of his income and input.
He died about ten years ago.
